Dogs are almost omnivorous, but you shouldn’t take advantage of this, so that you don’t have to seek help from a veterinarian again.

It is known that dogs eat meat, fish, vegetables and even fruits, including grapes. However, veterinarians advise to be careful with the latter.

Experts have explained whether dogs can be given grapes.

Neither fresh grapes nor raisins should be given to dogs, and this applies to all breeds without exception.

Experiments of this kind can have consequences, even tragic ones.

The fact is that grapes can cause kidney failure.

The animal may begin to vomit, have diarrhea, and also have problems with urination.

And even a small amount of berries can cause serious food poisoning.

What to do in case of poisoning

Grapes are not digested by the dog's body. Therefore, it will not be difficult to understand the cause of vomiting. If the dog eats berries, then undigested grapes will be present in the vomit.

Along with this, diarrhea, salivation, refusal to eat or drink, and problems with urination may begin.

The dog will appear lethargic and may have a low body temperature.

In such cases, and even if symptoms have not yet appeared, you should immediately contact a veterinarian.
