Quick answer: No. Grapes and raisins can cause kidney failure in dogs, and there is no known safe amount. If your dog eats any, call your vet or animal poison control right away.

This is general information, not veterinary advice. Every dog is different. If your dog ate something that might be toxic, call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 (a fee may apply) right away.

Why grapes are risky

The ASPCA lists grapes and raisins as toxic to dogs. Some dogs have no reaction while others develop kidney failure, so treat any amount as an emergency.
