Why Raisins Is Dangerous
Raisins are extremely dangerous for dogs — they are essentially concentrated grapes with the same unknown toxin that causes acute kidney failure. Because they are dried, they are actually more toxic per gram than fresh grapes. Even a small handful can be fatal. Raisins are commonly found in trail mix, cereal, baked goods, and Christmas pudding. Symptoms include vomiting, diarrhoea, lethargy, and loss of appetite within 12 hours. Kidney failure can develop within 24-72 hours. This is always a veterinary emergency.
