Dog and Cat Toxicity Checker

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.

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.

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.

No. Onions, garlic, leeks, and chives contain N-propyl disulfide, which damages red blood cells and causes hemolytic anemia in dogs. All forms are toxic: raw, cooked, dehydrated, and powdered. Even small repeated exposures accumulate over time.

True lilies (Lilium and Hemerocallis species) are the most dangerous. Even small amounts of pollen can cause fatal kidney failure in cats. Other toxic houseplants include pothos, philodendron, dieffenbachia, snake plant, sago palm, aloe vera, English ivy, peace lily, and jade plant. See our full plant toxicity guide for details.
