Frequently Asked Questions
Is grapes safe for dogs??
No. Grapes and raisins are highly toxic to dogs and can cause acute kidney failure even in small amounts. If your dog eats grapes, contact your veterinarian or pet poison helpline immediately. Symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and decreased urination.
Can dogs eat chocolate??
No. Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine, both toxic to dogs. Dark chocolate and baking chocolate are most dangerous. Toxicity depends on the type of chocolate, amount eaten, and your dog's weight. Contact your veterinarian immediately if your dog eats chocolate.
Is avocado safe for dogs??
Avocado flesh contains persin, which can cause vomiting and diarrhea. The pit poses a serious choking and intestinal blockage risk. While dogs are more resistant to persin than birds, avocado is not recommended as a treat. Guacamole is especially dangerous due to added onion and garlic.
