It’s now the season when grapes are on the market in large quantities,

Can we share grapes with dogs?

The answer is:

No!

1. Signs of poisoning caused by dogs eating grapes

Symptoms often occur within 6 hours and appear as follows

Depressed spirit

Vomiting and diarrhea

Loss of appetite

There may be grape residue in vomit or excrement

Typical symptoms are the same as those of acute gastroenteritis

Most dogs will begin to develop acute renal failure within 24-72 hours

Initial urine production is not produced or the urine volume is too small

Dehydration and binge drinking are common

At this time

The ca, p and uremia index in the blood will increase

If a dog complicated by uremia is not properly treated with medical treatment

Often they will die

The mechanism of acute renal failure in dogs caused by grapes is not yet clear.

It may cause damage to certain structures of the kidneys.

2. Grapes contain quite high amounts of glucose and fructose

More than 15% in grapes

Raisins contain more than 40% or even higher

Dogs are abnormally sensitive to sugar

is a possible cause of poisoning.

APCC also found out the possibility of poisoning

Including: mycotoxins (such as ochratoxin),

High content of vitamin D3 or similar ingredients,

Pesticide pollution, heavy metals or other environmental toxins

Or some unknown internal toxins in grapes and other factors

The exact cause of poisoning is still being studied.

3 Since 2001, there have been reports stating that

A case of acute renal failure in dogs after eating grapes

According to statistics, dogs after eating grapes

53% survived, 12% died, and 35% chose euthanasia

And the surviving dogs fully recovered

There may also be symptoms such as oliguria, ataxia, and physical weakness

All dogs that died had hypercalcemia and hyperkalemia

The toxic dose of raisins is 36g/kg

The grapes only need to be as little as 4-5 and as much as 148g/kg.

Therefore, for the sake of the dog’s health, parents must not be fooled by the dog’s pitiful little eyes when eating fruit. Feeding it grapes will kill it. When the grapes are not being eaten, they should be placed out of reach of dogs to prevent them from stealing them. This little thing is definitely capable of such a thing. In addition, raisins cannot be given to dogs~
