is grapes unhealthy when fed to dogs?

Hello jstrjnjimenez, Many years ago I didn't know that grapes and rasins can be a poison for dogs. I used to let my previous dog eat as much as she liked (fortunately she was a picky eater and she didn't use to eat too much from anything). We used to go to the countryside to help my parents in the vineyard, and Nera was free to do whatever she liked. She used to eat a few beans then she went to sleep in the shadow. She never had any problem with it but later, when I found out that grapes can cause kidney failure in dogs, I never let her eat any more grapes or raisins. Here's a link to a well docummented article about how much dammage can cause grapes ingestion in dogs: http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/raisins.asp The dog from the given example ate half a canister of fresh grapes and his owners had nothing to do but euthanize him.

Hi, jstrjnjimenez. I just know for a fact that feeding grapes to a dog would not be such a safe thing to do. I have not read online the facts about this, but I can just tell that feeding grapes to dogs, would cause more harm than good to their sensitive stomachs.

Thank you for posting this question. I looked at some of the answers, and learned something new. I never knew that grapes were toxic to dogs. Now I know not to feed my dog any grapes.
