  As long as no raisins were ingested you should be fine, even if it was cooked with raisins. Raisins are toxic to pets but there is no evidence that cooked raisins pose any risk of kidney problems in pets, and if there were no raisins actually ingested, then the risk is even lower. Rice pudding alone is not toxic to pets. You may see some stomach upset at which point you can try giving a bland diet of boiled plain chicken and rice or cottage cheese and 1-2 tsp of canned pumpkin (not the pie filling) added to the food daily. Continue to monitor him for the next few days for any stomach upset issues. But if there is any doubt to him ingesting any raisins he should be taken to your vet or ER vet immediately. Especially since we don't know how many raisins are going to be toxic to any pet. I hope that things continue to go well for your pet Charlie moving forward! Best wishes and take care. : )

  Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Since it has been so long since Tucker ate the cookies, it is too late to induce vomiting. Raisins can cause acute kidney injury, causing dogs to lose the ability to concentrate their urine. If it will occur, it tends to occur within the first 24-48 hours. Signs of acute kidney injury include increased drinking and increased urination, vomiting, lethargy, and drooling. If you see any of these signs, Tucker should be seen by a veterinarian right away to have bloodwork performed and the concentration of his urine checked. If he continues to act OK for the next 2-3 days, he will likely be OK. Please try to avoid any and all raisin or grape ingestion in the future! I hope this is helpful.

  Hello. If Jane only ate 1 raisin, then she will probably be fine. Raisin toxicity can cause acute renal failure in dogs & cats, so any signs of illness such as vomiting, lethargy & loss of appetite would indicate that you need to see a veterinarian quickly. Most cases come on pretty quickly, so if Jane remains normal over the next 24-72 hours, then she should be fine. Just keep an eye on her. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

  It is good that you induced vomiting and were able to get raisins and chocolate! However if all of the reasons were not vomited up, the raisins that are still in her stomach could be a problem. Raisins can cause kidney issues if eaten. I would contact the ASPCA Poison Control hotline to speak with a toxicologists or someone there that can tell you whether or not you need to seek Emergency Veterinary Care. Most likely if she just ate them and you were able to induce vomiting and get the chocolate and raisins up, they will likely tell you to monitor her and bring her to your veterinarian to have her checked in 24 hours to ensure her blood values are normal. However, I would contact ASPCA to determine what next steps should be taken. I hope this helps. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns that you may have. You can also contact me via phone or text consultation if needed
