NWR: My dog ate a raisin!

I gave my dog a couple grapes last night. She's fine.

@JClovesDM I'll have to try the broth cubes and see if he likes it thanks!

My old 10 lb dog ate an entire batch of raisin chocolate chip cookies.. The gas was almost bad enough that I brought her to the vet, but besides her pooping in front of the door because she couldn't quite make it. Dog was fine. My rug on the other hand

I used to give my dog grapes because he loves them and I thought they were a healthy snack for him. I had no idea they were toxic to dogs. He's fine. Sand and fish guts/bones however will knock him out and make him poop "sand castles" for a week. Apparently he ate a ton of sand and fish guts at the lake (must've just smelled too good to resist) and it basically turned cement-like in his belly/intestines. He lay on the floor drooling and groaning for a few days until the laxative was able to get things moving.

My sister's tiny dig one got into my nieces easter candy. Ate an entire chocolate rabbit and about a pound and a half off Hershey kisses. He was pooping tinfoil for a week, but was otherwise okay.

Your pup will be just fine. Keep a good eye on her and if she starts acting weird or different id call the vet.

With one raisin he should be fine. Some dogs are more sensitive to it than others so keep an eye out but no need to panic. I promise I am the most overprotective dog mom you ever want to meet and even I wouldn't go into meltdown over one. My family are dachshund people and doxies have a talent for getting into things and getting things they shouldn't (my parents doxie once ate the side out of a V8 can-yes the CAN, not the whole thing but chewed the side out of it to get to the juice the whole dogs won't bite metal thing is BS) so I've been through it all.

A quick list of other things to avoid in case anyone doesn't know one of these:

onions

garlic

caffeine

alcohol

avocado

nuts

and lastly: SUGARFREE GUM/CANDY

Xylitol which is a sugar substitute in many (not all) sugarfree foods is VERY toxic to dogs. We didn't know that and years ago when it was less common we almost lost my parents dog to xylitol poisoning. She was in the doggy hospital for 2 weeks.

In the future I would advise keeping some hydrogen peroxide around the house and anywhere your dog spends a lot of time. It can be used to induce vomiting if they eat something they shouldn't. Always ask your vet or poison control first and be sure of the dosage as well but having it on hand saves you the time of going to the store to get it and that time could make all the difference.

It can cause renal failure, but I think it really has to be more than one single raisin. Sending good thoughts your way! My dog somehow found a peach pit (not sure if it is the house on the block on our walks that has pitted fruit trees or if it was one of our peach pits that didn't make it into the trash bin and fell behind it instead) and thank the lord - the one day we were just sitting there and he spontaneously threw it up. I didn't see him get it or know he had it, so if he had gotten sick I couldn't have even given the vet an idea of what was wrong or causing a potential blockage.

@Reggie thank you so much for all of the helpful information! I had no idea dogs couldn't have all of that!

Guess it kind of depends on what you define 'ok' as. I knew people hat insisted it was fine to feed chocolate and wine to birds, enforcing the idea that their bird lived until the ripe old age of 15. when the life expectancy of their type of bird is actually 30 years.

but you called the vet, i would just do as they say. but I imagine if dogs dropped dead from that, a lot of dogs wouldn't live very long.

My dog once ate a 2.5 lb container of homemade chocolate fudge. And the plastic container. She had a bit of rumble guts for the next day or two, but was otherwise fine (though she did drop and show her belly to me as soon as I walked downstairs and saw the wax paper that was between the layers, and the remnants of the tub... She knew Momma was gonna be MAD that morning!).

DH fed our dog grapes not realizing they were bad. Raisins are bad for their kidneys so make sure they're peeing plenty. And they've also eaten chocolate cookies...all not good but survivable.

@FutureMrs.C, Yeah, many people don't know alot of the things dogs shouldn't get. And some of them, like grapes and raisins, can be fine until they aren't as they gather in their systems over time. So people can think their dog can eat them and it's ok when really they just haven't reached the tipping point yet. Personally, I'd rather not risk it. There are so many things you can safely give them that I see no reason to ever risk giving them something that might be even slightly bad.

My 3 or 4 pound chi apso also ate a rasin and he is peeing clear. Is he okay ? I don't know what to do. He's my first dog.

My friend dog ate a whole container of yogurt covered raisins. He was good after TLC and plenty of hydration after charcoal induced vomiting . It can be expensive

My dogs eat grapes all the time and are perfectly fine a little stupid but fine

It shouldn't be a problem. One raisin isn't enough to hurt. My Yorkie used to eat onions, I later found out they are no good for dogs. It never bothered her.
