Frequently asked
My dog ate one grape — is that dangerous?
Because the toxic dose is unpredictable, even one grape warrants a call to your vet. Many cases are mild, but kidney failure can occur unpredictably, so professional advice is the safe move.
Are raisins worse than grapes for dogs?
Raisins are more concentrated, so gram-for-gram they're considered more dangerous — but both should be treated as toxic.
