Can dogs eat grapes?
Why
Grapes, raisins, and currants can cause acute kidney injury in dogs, and tartaric acid is the suspected toxic component. Toxicity is unpredictable: there is no established safe dose, and some dogs react to very small amounts regardless of breed, age, or size. Even a small ingestion warrants immediate veterinary attention.
Warning signs to watch for
Vomiting or diarrhea within 6 to 12 hours, followed by lethargy, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, weakness, dehydration, increased thirst, and potential kidney failure.
