It’s the peak season for fruits, but when you eat fruits, there are always a pair of big eyes looking at you. Give it to you or not? This is a question.

Apples, watermelons, bananas and other fruits can be shared with dogs. But many people may not know that dogs cannot eat grapes!

Grapes contain quite high levels of glucose and fructose, more than 15% in grapes, and more than 40% or even higher in raisins. Dogs are extremely sensitive to sugars, which may cause poisoning.

What is "possible cause"?

I’m just not sure

You should know that there are also cases of dogs eating a large amount of grapes without being poisoned

So what ingredients cause kidney failure in dogs?

The mechanism by which grapes cause acute renal failure in dogs is not yet clear.

80% is a certain component of grapes that causes damage to certain structures of the kidneys

Symptoms of poisoning caused by dogs eating grapes often occur within 6 hours, including depression, vomiting and diarrhea, and loss of appetite. There may be grape residue in the vomitus or excrement. The typical symptoms are the same as those of acute gastroenteritis. Most dogs will begin to develop acute renal failure within 24-72 hours.

Since 2001, there have been reports that dogs suffered from acute renal failure after eating grapes. According to statistics, after eating grapes, 53% of dogs survive, 12% die, and 35% choose euthanasia. After the dogs that survive fully recover, they may also suffer from oliguria, ataxia, and physical weakness. All the dogs that died had hypercalcemia and hyperkalemia. The toxic dose of raisins is 3-36g/kg, while grapes can range from 4-5 to 148g/kg. Therefore, for the health of your dog, it is best not to eat grapes and raisins (it is best not to eat them, in case you "win").
