My big dog ate a grape. Should I be concerned about grape toxicity?

Hello. This is always a bit of a quandary because there are no hard rules for raisin & grape consumption in small amounts. A few raisins in a 60-pound dog is probably or no consequence, but some dogs can react to just one. Personally, I would just watch Buddy. Most problems will develop in 6-24 hours, & consist of vomiting &/or diarrhea. If any of these should develop, get to your vet immediately. No vomiting or diarrhea by 48 hours, then he will be fine. Just be diligent in keeping an eye on him. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Honestly there is no certain quantity that is toxic to dogs. Every dog is different and 1 grape could be toxic to one dog and it could take 100 grapes to cause toxicity to the next. I recommend calling your vet for options to decontaminate Poppy. Good luck and kisses to Poppy!

There is chemical in grapes that is toxic to dogs but 2 grapes will contain a relatively small amount. Usually issues arrise when dogs eat a whole packet off raisins. I would monitor Bruno closely and visit the vet if he seems to be unwell.

Symptoms of grape toxicity usually begin within 24-48 hours of ingestion, so Arlee is likely to be ok if she's had no other symptoms 5 days after eating them. The exact dose of grapes to cause toxicity is unknown, so it is very important that you don't allow Arlee to eat anymore grapes (or raisins). If she's got a rash, then I would take her into your regular vet to be evaluated for that, as there are a few different things that can cause a rash, and she may need medication to help clear it up.

My gut reaction here is that there is not a need to be concerned. However, we don't know the exact mechanism of toxicity in grapes and raisins, so I cannot give you a 100% guarantee that there's no danger. To be on the ultra-safe side, you can call animal poison control. There is a fee, but they will have a database they can search to see if there's any reports of problems from raisin juice as an ingredient.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Zeus. Grapes are a difficult toxicity in dogs. They are very poisonous to some dogs and do not see to affect others much at all. You did everything right and I agree with the treatment plan that your veterinarian performed. I suspect that he will be fine, but the blood work will put your mind at ease. Good luck!
