🍇Grapes and raisins are known to be highly toxic to dogs. These fruits contain toxins that can cause acute kidney failure and even death in 72 hours or less. 📊There has been a lot of research done analyzing grape and raisin toxicity in dogs, and scientists haven’t found precisely which substance in the fruit causes this reaction. 🩸Theories include metabolic disruption, a nephrotoxic mycotoxin, and an idiosyncratic reaction. 🔬The toxic principle and exact mechanism of toxicity remain unknown, and since there is no proven amount that is safe, you shouldn’t be giving your dog grapes or raisins at all.
