It looks like you asked this about 7 hours ago, so it's too late to make them vomit (in the future, for time sensitive questions we recommend the premium questions because they get flagged differently for immediate help). I would recommend taking both to an emergency clinic to have blood work done and and get them started on IV fluids. Raisins are VERY frustrating, because we do not know what the toxic dose is and it seems to be different for different dogs. One dog might have horrible kidney failure and die from a few raisins, but another dog might get raisins for treats their whole life and be perfectly fine. So you have to decide if you want to treat them, or risk it. Here is an article about making dogs vomit at home in case something like this happens again: https://www.petcoach.co/article/4-things-to-consider-before-inducing-vomiting-in-dogs/ I'm sorry you're dealing with this. I hope they are both ok.
