Frequently asked
How many raisins are toxic to a dog?
There's no reliably safe amount — toxicity is unpredictable and some dogs react to a small number. Treat any raisin ingestion as urgent and call your vet.
My dog ate a raisin cookie — what should I do?
Call your vet right away with the number of raisins and your dog's weight. Baked goods may also contain chocolate or xylitol, which add further risk.
