Grapes and related fruits like raisins and sultanas can be toxic to dogs, potentially causing acute kidney failure even in small amounts due to tartaric acid content.

Even one raisin can be toxic to dogs, as some may have a severe reaction to very small amounts. Prompt veterinary attention is strongly recommended.

Raisins can be extremely toxic to dogs, potentially causing acute kidney failure even in small amounts due to the presence of tartaric acid, to which dogs are uniquely sensitive.
