Can dogs eat Raisins?

Quick Answer:

Avoid completely. Raisins are highly concentrated dried grapes and are extremely toxic to dogs.

Why it matters:

Because they are dried and concentrated, raisins pose an even higher toxicity risk per gram than fresh grapes. They can cause acute kidney failure in dogs. There is no known safe dosage.

What to check on the label:

  • Raisin bread or oatmeal cookies
  • Trail mixes or cereal containing raisins
  • Dried fruit combinations

Symptoms to watch for:

  • Severe vomiting and diarrhea
  • Extreme lethargy or weakness
  • Dehydration (dry nose and gums)
  • Anuria (inability to urinate)

When to contact a veterinarian:

This is a veterinary emergency. If your dog ate raisins, contact a veterinarian or emergency pet clinic immediately. Do not wait for symptoms to appear.
