Grapes of Intestinal Wrath
Grapes and raisins, although healthy and popular snacks for people, can cause serious health problems for dogs. Although the exact reason why they are toxic remains unknown, even small doses can cause vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue and abdominal pain, and can lead to kidney damage, and even kidney failure.
After ingesting these fruits, dogs show increased levels of nitrogen, creatinine and phosphorous in their blood, which indicate impaired kidney function. If your dog succeeds in sneaking any of these snacks, a swift trip to the vet can offset potentially serious health complications.
