My dog ate a grape — what should I do?

Treat any grape or raisin as an emergency. Even small amounts have caused kidney failure in some dogs, and there's no known safe dose.

Call your vet or an emergency clinic right away. Treatment works best within the first few hours, often by making your dog vomit at the clinic and giving fluids.

Do not wait for symptoms. Early signs — vomiting, tiredness and not eating — can be followed by kidney damage within 1–3 days.
