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.
