Grapes and raisins are highly toxic to dogs.

Although it remains a mystery what is the element causing the toxicity. Studies reveal that ingestion of small amounts of these elements can be fatal for our friends. In fact, they can cause serious kidney failures.

Unfortunately dogs are greedy and if they ingest and manifest vomiting and / or diarrhea with pieces of grapes (after 24 hours), loss of appetite, abdominal pain and kidney failure, go to the doctor immediately!

Do not give them grapes and raisins, we can not take the risk of losing our faithful companion for a grape.

Keep it in the house where they cannot reach it and, if claiming a snack, give them an apple (without its poisonous seeds).

Forbidden Food: Fruit Seeds

Standard

semi

In delivering fruit to our dogs, we must remember certain prohibitions:

– Apple Seeds
– Peach Kernel 
– Cherry Kernel
– Plum Kernel
– Apricot Kernel

They are extremely dangerous because, in addition to being able to cause intestinal obstructions, they  contain cyanide which is poisonous to humans and dogs. The only difference is that we know that they do not have to be eaten, dogs do not.

Furthermore,
– Cacao Seeds

They can cause inflammation and intestinal obstructions too.
