Hi there! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Grapes can be very toxic to dogs. It really depends on how many were eaten though some dogs, can have a toxicity with a small amount of grapes. If this happened within the last hour, your veterinarian could still induce vomiting on Hope to see if you can retrieve the ingested grapes. Grapes can result in kidney failure and this toxicity is very serious. Usually, affected dogs are hospitalized for treatment and very carefully monitored. I recommend you have her evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Keeping my fingers crossed for a speedy recovery!
