Grapes and raisins are now considered harmful to dogs. Recent evidence seems to support a link between eating grapes and raisins and kidney failure in dogs. Other harmful foods include chocolate and onions.

Dog Etiquette

Be a responsible dog owner and practice good dog etiquette...

Always pick up after your dog. If you see other poop on the ground pick it up too. Chances are at one time or another your dog left a poop that you didn't catch. Offer poop bags to those who don't pick up after their dog.
Do not allow your dog to dig holes, chase wildlife, or damage the environment in any way. These are some of the main reasons dogs are prohibited from most national parks.
Carry a leash at all times. Leash your dog to and from the off-leash areas.
Be near, and in control of, your dog at all times. Do not allow your pooch to bark excessively or harass other dogs.
Keep your dog properly vaccinated and licensed. Click here for information about how to license your dog.
Try to avoid bringing small children into off-leash areas. If you must do so, keep them within arms reach at all times.
Be aware of park regulations, and follow them.
