#4 Grapes and Raisins

According to PetMD, raisins and grapes should not be eaten by your furry friend. Even though some dogs can tolerate them, other “dogs should not eat grapes and raisins because even small amounts can prove to be fatally toxic for a dog.”

Why it can be bad for dogs:

Dogs of any age, breed, or gender may be affected. Grapes and raisins are bad for dogs because one of the most serious complications of grape/raisin toxicity is acute (sudden) kidney failure with lack of urine production (anuria).

What to do:

If your dog consumes grapes or raisins, immediate treatment is required. Usually, veterinarians recommend you to induce vomiting is important because they don't want the toxins in the fruit to be absorbed. However, you should speak with your veterinarian before you induce vomiting.
