My dog ate raisins, didn't vomit after peroxide. Should I be worried?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Dachshund miniature | Female | unspayed | 1 year old | 3.8 lbs

I have two 10lbs mini dachshunds that just ate 4-5 raisins each. I have given them both 15mL of hydrogen peroxide each and they haven’t vomited. Should I be worried? Can they die from this?

Toxicity from raisin ingestion is around 0.11 oz/kg of raisins. And most raisins weigh around 0.5g, making a toxic amount around 6 raisings per kg of body weight in a dog. Dolly's weight is 1.7kg. However, this is just an average. To be absolutely sure and safe, I would still consider having both pets evaluated by your local ER vet and induce vomiting if possible. Hydrogen peroxide is only one way to induce vomiting in dogs. The medicine your vet carries is more effective at inducing vomiting, but this can only be done 1-2 hrs after ingesting a toxin. I do hope that your furry friends are going to be ok moving forward. Best of luck and take care.

    Yes, this may be cause for concern. Unfortunately the exact dose of raisins (or grapes) that may cause a toxicity is unknown. To add tot he confusion, some dogs seem unaffected after ingestion. The safest option would be to have them seen at the nearest veterinary ER. Vomiting can be induced via injection to get the raisins up and out. Activated charcoal may be given afterwards to further reduce any absorption. All this is most successful when done within 2 hours of ingestion. You can discuss the need to monitor kidney function with the vet depending on whether or not all the raisins come up. Given current events, you may need to drop them off at the ER then wait for the vet to call to discuss exam findings and treatment options.

    I don't think she will from eating 2 grapes but every dog responds differently to certain toxins. Even though you gave the peroxide to induce vomiting you should still get her to the vet. The vet will administer activated charcoal which will help absorb the toxins before they get picked up by the blood stream. They can also keep her on IV fluids for 24-48 hours to help keep the kidneys flushed out. That is what I would do if this was my dog. Here is a good article regarding this topic to give you more information. I hope this helps! https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/grape-raisin-and-currant-poisoning-in-dogs

    Usually, if you induce vomiting within 3 hours you can get out the toxin out of the stomach. It may not have been easily identifiable if it was in there for 45 minutes. Three grapes should not be enough to cause problems, but the toxicity of grapes widely varies between different types of grapes, so I can't say for sure. It would be good to give some more pedialyte tomorrow also. This will force hydration and allow for good clearance of the toxin. If she is not urinating, vomiting or something else seems abnormal with her, then it's best to get her to the vet as soon as possible. I hope that helps and all continues to go well for Chanel.

    If you know she only ingested 3 and she puked them back up then you should be in the clear. However, peroxide can cause irritation to the stomach so if she continues to vomit or has a decrease in appetite tomorrow then you may want to have her seen by your veterinarian for some nausea medication. Good job getting the grapes up! Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
