Grape toxicity can be very variable. Licking a grape shouldn’t cause an issue but please keep her away from grapes and raisins. With some dogs they can cause acute kidney failure, while other dogs are not affected. As with any occurrence please take her right into your veterinarian if you see any abnormal signs, especially with a puppy as they love to get into and eat lots of things they shouldn’t.

    No worries. If he didn't actually ingest the grape, he is likely going to be just fine. Just make sure to keep grapes away from him b/c they can be toxic in small amounts, but definitely would have to ingest the grape for this to be a concern.
