Can Dogs Eat Grapes (or will one mouthful kill them)? - Dog Health Vet Advice

Published on Jan 12, 2020
Have you heard that grapes are poisonous for dogs? Can dogs eat grapes and raisins or is it true that they can kill?
The answer is not as straight forward as you might imagine. Different individuals have different susceptibilities.
Some dogs can cope with a belly full while others will develop acute kidney injury and die after eating only a handful of grapes. It really can be that varied.
There have been incidences of dogs being poisoned after eating significantly fewer grapes or raisins than the reported toxic dose, including an 18lb dog dying after eating 4-5 grapes. Any grape or raisin ingestion should prompt an immediate call to your veterinarian
There are some suggestions of what the toxic dose is, and you can find a calculator based on your dog's weight here: https://ourpetshealth.com/info/are-raisins-poisonous-for-dogs
Time and again though, there are reports of dogs being poisoned after eating less than this and so my advice would be to always contact your veterinarian if your dog has eaten any grapes or raisins.
It's much better to be safe than sorry.
