My dog ate grapes days ago, no symptoms. Is kidney damage a risk?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 15 lbs

My dog loves frozen grapes and i just read that it is very dangerous for him to eat them. He isn't showing any symptoms of sickness and the last grape he ate would have been at least 3 days ago. Do I need to worry? Obviously, he won't be eating them again.

Some dogs can eat grapes without getting ill or having kidney failure, others cannot. Next time you visit a veterinarian with Riker have some blood work done to make sure he has healthy kidneys. Should Riker get lethargic, start drinking a lot of water or has diarrhea or vomits. All these could be signs of kidney disease.
