Grapes contain a toxin that can cause kidney failure in dogs. Grapes, raisins, and grape containing products can all make a dog very sick when ingested. This is called grape poisoning or grape toxicity. Immediate treatment is necessary and some cases can still end up being fatal.
The most common early symptom of grape or raisin poisoning is stomach upset within 12–24 hours following ingestion. Symptoms may include vomiting, loss of appetite, diarrhea, and lethargy. More severe signs are not seen until 24–48 hours after ingestion – often after acute kidney damage has already begun.

Overall, 50% of dogs that ingest grapes and raisins never develop clinical signs or azotemia. As with any toxicant, the sooner a toxicity is identified (e.g., prior to clinical signs developing), the sooner it can be decontaminated and treated for a better prognosis.
Grapes and raisins, a common fruit snack for humans, can cause severe toxicity in dogs that can potentially cause death. Raisins in particular are found mixed in various food like bread and other baked goods, potentially increasing their risk of exposure to dogs.
Most dogs with grape, raisin, or tamarind toxicosis develop vomiting or diarrhea within 6–12 hours after ingestion. Other clinical signs include lethargy, anorexia, abdominal pain, weakness, dehydration, polydipsia, and tremors (shivering).
Grapes, raisins, sultanas and currants are all potentially poisonous to dogs. If eaten they can cause gut problems and in serious cases, kidney failure. The toxic dose varies from dog to dog, but in some cases, can be very small (i.e. some dogs don’t have to eat much of the fruit to become poorly).
