Question of the week 🍇
Can my pet eat grapes?
Unfortunately No.
Grape and raisin toxicity occurs when a dog eats fruits from the Vitis genus. Ingestion can cause kidney damage in dogs. Because the toxic dose is unknown and individual dogs react differently, there’s no safe amount, even small ingestions can lead to serious illness. For that reason, any exposure to these fruits should be evaluated by a vet or call ASPCA Poison Control.
Symptoms: (can also appear a few days after ingestion)
Vomiting (most common)
Diarrhea
Loss of appetite
Dehydration
Abdominal distention or pain
Excessive drooling
Lethargy
Weakness, Trembling
Other common household items/plants pets should not ingest are:
Chocolate
Macadamia nuts
Garlic
Onions
Xylitol an artificial sweeteners
Sage Palms
Oleanders
Cats specifically, an part of a Lily plant
