Grapes and raisins are toxic to dogs. A few dogs eat them and have no problems.
Some dogs, however, become violently ill after eating only a few grapes or raisins. Symptoms are vomiting and restlessness. Kidney failure follows which is often fatal. Yet, the toxin itself is not known as of this writing, nor is has been much research done to find out why some dogs have a toxic reaction to raisins and grapes, and some dogs do not.
Vets report fatalities after dogs have eaten as little as 7 raisins! Please be aware of the dangers and do not give grapes or raisins as treats to your dog!
Other toxic foods for your dog include, but are not limited to: chocolate, bread dough, macadamia nuts, salmon and trout, onions and garlic, xylitol sweetner, chicken bones, cocoa bean, poinsettias, and mistletoe.
