Oh no, that's not good. Poor Lola. There is no known safe amount of grapes for dogs to eat. There is always a possibility of kidney failure. The (major) problem with treating these guys is that you don't know if it's going to cause kidney failure until it's too late. They don't act different or ill until they are life threateningly ill. The only way to treat them is to go to the clinic, make her vomit if it was within an hour or maybe 2, then keep her on IV fluids for a day or two. And some dogs can eat grapes without any problems. We just don't know how each individual will react. So I know that's not the most helpful answer, but that's the more accurate one we have. You can chance it and do nothing and there is a good chance everything will be fine, or you can take her to the clinic immediately for hospitalization. Good luck!

    Great question! Yes, definitely take Molly into a vet right away. The problem with grapes is that the amount needed to cause kidney failure isn't known, so even one grape can cause a big problem. She will need to be induced to vomit safely with a shot, and then she will need blood tests to get baseline kidney values. These blood tests should be repeated in 3-4 days to make sure that her kidneys are working normally. Please take her into a vet now.

My XL Bully she is 40kg or 80-90lb ate a small red grape. Could this be a potential problem to her health? Should we seek medical attention?

My dog has eaten 3-4 grapes. Should I give him hydrogen peroxide to make him Throw up. Is yes then what amount?
No, I never recommend doing that at home, it's really not safe. There is no known safe amount of grapes for dogs to eat. There is always a possibility of kidney failure.

Hi there My French bulldog ate 1 group just over 3 hours ago. He has been eating and drinking as normal and his behavior hasn’t changed. He is 5 months old and 6.4 kg. Will he be ok? Eve
I think your post autocorrected "grape" to "group" . If so, you are correct to be concerned, as grapes are toxic to dogs and can lead to diarrhea, as well as kidney failure, which may not be evident for several days. I recommend you contact the Pet Poison Helpline for further direction. See the link below for more information https://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/poison/grapes/ They may recommend having Jenson seen, as the amount of grapes needed to cause toxicity is unknown and can vary greatly between dogs.

Help! My 7 month old, 40lb puppy ate a plate of grapes!
Unfortunately, grapes can be very toxic to dogs in any amount. Please get Sully to the closest emergency or 24 hour clinic immediately, so they can get him to vomit. Often, if we can get dogs to vomit the grapes immediately, they don't have any further problems. I am attaching a handout with more information below. https://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=3550 Good luck! I hope Sully is fine!

My cocker spaniel ate a big hot cross bun (I looked for the one with least raisins for myself and he got hold of it) I'm not sure how many raisins were in it what do I do?

My puppy ate half of a red grape about 3 hrs ago. She is acting totally normal but I just saw online that grapes are bad. I really can’t afford taking her to an emergency vet unless it’s absolutely necessary. What should I do?
Unfortunately there is no toxic dosage for grapes and even one can cause very severe side effects. If you cannot take her to your local veterinarian, the only options is to monitor clinical signs and feed her as normally you would do. Possible signs would be increased drinking levels, excessive or no urination at all, vomiting, diarrhoea, lethargy and inappetence. Should you notice any of these signs, an immediate check up would be required.

I suspect my 90 pound dog ate about five grapes should I be worried? She got in the garbage.
Hi there! Thanks for using Boop by Petco! 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!

My chocolate lab ate half a grape she's 6 years old and stocky build will she be ok. Thank you
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Honestly there is no certain quantity that is toxic to dogs. Every dog is different and 1 grape could be toxic to one dog and it could take 100 grapes to cause toxicity to the next. I recommend calling your vet for options to decontaminate Poppy. Good luck and kisses to Poppy!

My dog ate two grapes today and I've heard they are very toxic to dogs. Will he be okay? Is there anything I can do to help him? He's very old, too.
You are correct that grapes are toxic to dogs. If he ate them within the past two hours, you can take him into your vet now to induce vomiting. If it's been longer than two hours, I would monitor him for signs of grape toxicity. These signs include vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, lethargy, weakness, abdominal pain, dehydration, passing only a small amount of urine, or not passing any urine at all. If you see any of those signs, you need to take Coco into the vet right away.
