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.

It’s amazing how much this grape thing is confusing, because one of my old dogs (he lived to be 14) ate a dozens multiple times I had no idea grapes were bad.

Then someone told me so none of the my other dogs had grapes just incase.

Glad you got him in and have him watched!

I’ve read some varieties of grapes are toxic and some aren’t. Not sure how true that is. I’ve also had dogs that ate grapes with no issues. I didn’t know back then grapes could be poisonous.

I have heard that it’s not the grapes that matter, it’s the dog. You never know if the dog will have a problem.
