Fruit and veggies are good. But too much of any one veggie or fruit at any one time is not good. For example several pieces of broccoli is good but a bowl full - oh no. I always give Taylor some supplements with his daily meal and these usually include veggies. With dry food he gets 10-20 percent of his total meal in supplements. Veggies given raw are best apart from potato.
Take care with dried fruit - too much sugar etc to give too many daily.
As for grapes - any members of the family are a nono - raisins and sultanas. Other fruit that is a nono is avocardo. With veggies, onions, mushrooms are among a very small array that are toxic to dogs - though it would take more than a few pieces to kick in adversely - that is why garlic (a member of the onion family) given as a small portion is very good for dogs but an overload of it renders it toxiic to dogs.
