Thread: Raisins

Are raisins really toxic to dogs? Mine eat them all the time.

Yes they are toxic but it is a cumulative effect. The toxins in raisins build up in the kidneys. Many times you won't see the effects until there is actual kidney failure. The time is affected by the size of the dog, it's overall health and how many raisins you feed.

I would suggest finding another healthier treat for your dogs.

raw sliced carrots, or baby carrots can be a good low-cal yummy treat, if you want to stay with something like that

Thanks so much!! They always pick the up after y babies drop them. That wont happen anymore!! Thank you so much!!

Raisins are very toxic. If you fed your dog raisins you may have already caused chronic kidney renal failure. It slowly causes dogs to die from toxicity in their blood. That is why your dog continues to eat tasty raisins yet can be dying inside. It is still a mystery why it happens.Stop feeding grapes and raisins. If you want to know if you dog has kidney failure you need to have a special blood test for BUN and creatine. If it comes up positive at least you know you need to put your dog on a special diet. If it is negative you are lucky. Kidney failure has no symptoms until it is too late. That is why you wouldn't know raisins are like poison.
My dog has kidney failure so I know fom experience.
Good luck to all
