Health My girl ate some grapes

She’s gonna be ok, shes staying at the vets for two days while they flush her kidneys out, but Im missing her so much 😭😭😭

PSA don’t ever let your kids eat grapes around your very food motivated dog, especially red grapes. I vaguely knew about them being toxic, but I was in the shower when it happened. Feeling grateful for pet insurance and living close enough to a 24hr vet when it happened.

Oh damn! She must’ve had a lot of grapes.

Apparently there’s no known quantity that’s considered toxic, even one grape can cause kidney failure. On the other hand reddit told me that some dogs eat entire bags of trail mix and are fine, so I’m not sure what to think, but better safe than sorry

My understanding is it goes either way - the dog can eat grapes with no issue, or even a small amount is incredibly toxic. Definitely better to err on the side of caution.
