Why grapes are dangerous?!
Unpredictable toxicity: The exact substance in grapes that is toxic to dogs is still unknown, and it's not possible to determine which dogs will be affected by which amount.
Kidney failure: Even a small number of grapes can lead to acute kidney failure in some dogs, which can be fatal.
What to do if your dog eats grapes?!
Contact your veterinarian immediately: This is the most critical step.
An immediate consultation is essential, even if your dog ate only one grape, because it's impossible to predict which dogs are susceptible to poisoning.
Induce vomiting: To remove the fruit from the stomach quickly.
Your vet will ask to Run blood and urine tests: To check for signs of kidney damage.
