Grapes and raisins and pets
Grapes and raisins is toxic for dogs and risky for cats. Linked to acute kidney failure in dogs at any amount. Cats are less commonly affected but keep them away too.
Not veterinary advice. If your pet has eaten something concerning — or shows vomiting, lethargy, tremors or seizures — call your veterinarian or a pet poison line immediately; waiting to see how it goes is the one thing that reliably makes it worse.
The reason
