Mopsy just stole about half a grape jelly sandwich. I know that grapes are toxic to dogs. What should I do?

Grape jelly doesn't actually have a lot of grapes in it, but it does have a lot of sugar. You may see some GI upset in Mopsy (such as vomiting), and if you do, I would recommend withholding food and then feeding a bland diet. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, she vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away.
