Grape toxicity in dogs
Have you received any questions related to grapes and dogs? This might help you answer those…
Apparently some dogs are sensitive to eating grapes (about 15 g per kg of dog can be toxic). The mechanism is unknown, but the toxicity has been documented for seeded, unseeded, wine pressings, and raisins. Heavy metals and pesticides have been ruled out. This paper provides some more details.

I can attest to the toxicity of grapes for dogs. Our 15 year old scottie loved grapes and we and our grandson fed them to her because she enjoyed them so much. We had no idea we were poisoning her with love. Since we had never heard of the effect of grapes we did not tell our veterinarian she had eaten grapes and they didn’t treat her for poisoning. She died 7 days later.
We will never feed another dog any human food unless we are certain it is not toxic.

Has anyone had their small dog accidentally lap up red wine? Our pug may have done that and immediately had a toxic reaction. She is ok now. Thanks for any experiences you have to share.
