Can cats eat Raisins?

Quick Answer:

Avoid completely. Raisins are dried grapes and pose a suspected risk of kidney failure in cats.

Why it matters:

Just like grapes, raisins are suspected to cause acute kidney injury. The dried form is highly concentrated, making any ingestion potentially toxic. Avoid letting your cat access any raisins or raisin-containing foods.

What to check on the label:

  • Raisin bread, cookies, or pastries
  • Cereals and trail mixes

Symptoms to watch for:

  • Vomiting and diarrhea within hours of ingestion
  • Lethargy and weakness
  • Loss of appetite

When to contact a veterinarian:

Contact your veterinarian if your cat ingested raisins, especially if they display vomiting or decreased energy levels.
