Why Raisins is dangerous

Contain an unidentified toxin that can cause sudden kidney failure in dogs. Unlike many toxins, the risk doesn't scale predictably with amount — some dogs react badly to a small handful.

Signs to watch for

Vomiting, reduced appetite, and lethargy within 24 hours; reduced or absent urination 24–72 hours later

What to do next

Contact your vet immediately regardless of how many were eaten. Vets typically induce vomiting if caught early and may recommend IV fluids to protect the kidneys.
