Little “Ollie” ate A Grape & had treatment with us

Grapes toxicity in dogs is a serious and sometimes life-threatening problem. Even a small amount can cause poisoning in some dogs. 🍇🐕

Why grapes are dangerous

The exact toxin in grapes (and Raisins) isn’t fully identified, but they can cause acute kidney failure in dogs.

How much is toxic?

There is no safe amount.
Some dogs become very ill after only 1–2 grapes, while others may eat more with no signs. Because it’s unpredictable, any ingestion is treated as an emergency.

Symptoms (usually within 6–24 hours)
• Vomiting (often the first sign)
• Diarrhoea
• Lethargy / weakness
• Loss of appetite
• Abdominal pain
• Excessive thirst or urination early, then little or no urine later (kidney failure)

What to do if a dog eats grapes
1. Contact a vet immediately — don’t wait for symptoms.
2. If it was within the last 1–2 hours, a vet may induce vomiting.
3. Dogs often need hospitalisation and IV fluids for 24–72 hours to protect the kidneys.
