Are grapes poisonous to dogs?

And if so, why? My old dog used to steal grapes from the fruitbowl and it never seemed to do her any harm, though maybe there's some long-term toxicity?

And what about currants, sultanas & raisins? I have half a fruit scone here that I don't want but need to know it's safe before I give it to my dog.

Answers:
1. It is very dangerous to your dog's health to feed it grapes. Most fruits are okay, but I think it's the tanins in the grapes that are dangerous. Bananas, apples, oranges, carrots are all fine. However, your dog might be very gassy because it isn't used to the fruits/veggies and, of course, these foods cause gas anyway.

2. You should NOT be feeding your dog a scone! Good God, it's bad enough if you eat poorly, but you shouldn't make your dog be unhealthy, too. It is relying on you for proper nutrition, and a SCONE is not part of a healthy eating lifestyle for a dog.
Try it on a neighbor's dog.
I've never heard that grapes are poisonous to dogs. Maybe you should google it! My dog eats grapes, and she's never had any adverse side-effects.
no
My dog eats them.
They are but only if given in large quantities, just a few now and then won't hurt them, my dogs are 11 (westie) and 14 (bordie collie cross) they both eat grapes and the dreaded chocolate, but only now and then.

My Bordie collie cross loves honey dew melon. the westie will eat anything.
Dogs know better than you do, so don't worry.
fruits are usually not poisonous to dogs.
it depends what tipe.
grapes are not.
1 thing you shoild know that dogs might choke on the fruits and it is happening very frequently.
but again it also depends what kind of dof you are talking about.
They Usually Chew The Juice Out Of Em And Leave Whats Left,Too Many May Give Em The Runs,A Few Won't Hurt Em,I Had One Dog Liked Raw Lemons,They Will Try Anything They See You Eat Alot Of Times
My Mums dog needs grapes cut in half but she loves them, my dog steels my golden Delicious apples but wont touch pink lady !and quite happily munched his way through a bag of dried mixed fruit and peel ment for a fruit cake, he seems fine.
Mildly, the odd one won't hurt, I think its the tannin in the skin and seeds but might be wrong. Dried fruit is concentrated so contains more of whatever it is. My old dog used to have the odd grape as a treat; and apples as well and they contain tannin too. Hopefully someone can explain exactly what the problem is with grapes.
I got an email from DogAge.com a few days ago that states all fruits and vegetables (save for grapes and raisins) are good for your dog. I didn't read any further than that so I don't know why grapes aren't good for him/her. Go to http://www.dogage.com to read more on it, while you're at it, put the site in your favorite list, or better yet, sign up for their newsletter (it's free), they give you lots of health tips and fun games to play with your dog..an awesome site for any dog owner/lover!
Grapes and raisins are toxic to dogs. They can cause acute renal failure. Look it up on the aspca poison control website.
Grapes and raisins are toxic to dogs. There is a chemical in them that can kill if given in large quantities. One here or there would be no problem unless it is a small dog.
yes, there is something in them that cause congestive heart failure! my friend was eating grapes one day and her dog was looking at her with those sad eyes just saying "give me one, please..!!" so she gave her a few, later on that evening they noticed that the dog was acting strange and figured that it was just something that would go away. in the middle of the night, their dog started breathing heavily and in an irregular way, so they rushed her to the vet and ran tests that cost my friend a LOT of unnecessary money just for a .20 cent grape. DO NOT feed your dog grapes!! take a look at the links below to read more about it and what other foods not to feed your dog..

raisins are on the lists with grapes. do not feed that to your dog, just put it in the fridge and eat it later or tomorrow.

.my dogs eats them and I have watched wildlife show where wolves sneak into vineyards and steal the grapes. As for your scone, might give your pet a bit of gas if anything.My dog has never eatin more than one or two, so maybe its like chocolate some dogs can handle it and others not. I have read that onion can give dogs anemia..but my dog has eatin that too, in very small amounts. I did read on vet information that it is large amounts of grapes.
I cannot believe the things people will say are okay for dogs, without doing any research! Grapes and and raisins are toxic to dogs.sure one or two is okay, but why bother getting your dog accustomed to something poisonous that he may steal off the counter when you're not around and you come home to a sick dog?
My little one loves grapes though I think dogs shouldn't eat them in big amounts because of the alcohol and sugar. One or two as a "sweet" won't do any harm.
no my dog eats the when she gets the chance has done for years

Broccoli: reported to be pretty potent gastrointestinal irritant

Cherry: rapid breathing, shock, mouth inflammation, heart rate increase

Chocolate: seizures, coma, hyperactivity, rapid heart beat, tremors, death. Bakers chocolate is the most dangerous. A dog can consume milk chocolate and appear to be fine because it is not as concentrated but is still very dangerous.
• 1 oz per lb of body weight for (2 oz per kg) of body weight for bakers chocolate
• 1 oz per 3 lbs of body weight (1 oz per 1.5 kg body weight) for semi-sweet chocolate
• 1 oz per 9lbs of body weight (1 oz per 4 kg) for bakers chocolate
• Please keep in mind that these are only guidelines, and if you suspect your pet had ingested chocolate, please keep an eye out for ANY signs of poisoning! Every dog reacts differently to quantity.
Coffee/Tea: Drinks/Foods: containing caffeine or sugar may cause many of the same symptoms chocolate causes

Cooked Bones: uncooked bones should be safe but if they are cooked you should refrain because they deteriorate and easily splinter. Can cause extensive damage to internal organs and passage ways, may times resulting in death.

Mushrooms: acute gastric effects, liver and kidney damage, abdominal pain, nausea, salivation, vomiting

Nutmeg: tremors, seizures and death

Tobacco: nausea, salivation, vomiting, tachycardia (rapid heartbeat)

Onion: (cats are more sensitive), gastrointestinal upset, hemolytic anemia, heinz body anemia, hemogloinria, destroys red blood cells

Grapes, Raisins, Prunes: kidney failure, as little as a single serving of grapes or raisins can kill a dog. It takes anywhere from 9 oz to 2 lbs of grapes and raisins (between .041 and 1.1 oz/kg of body weight), to cause severe vomiting and diarrhea, and possible kidney failure

Salt: excessive intake can cause kidney problems

Raw Eggs- many people feed raw eggs to their dogs but keep in mind that they can contain salmonella. Dogs do have a higher immunity against salmonella poisoning but are not immune and have been reported to get it from uncooked eggs.
Are grapes poisonous to dogs?(no) but dogs are poisonous to grapes
friuts aren't normally poisinous to dogs but sometimes the seeds can be. concentrations of apple or grape seeds can cause sickness and in extreme cases death. keep seedless grapes in the bowl and apples in the fridge. stay away from exotic fruits, too much fruit will cause loose bowles and stomach pains. just stick to dog food to be on the safe side.
my dog loves raisins and they are dried grapes. My vet told me not to let my dog have them because that can be toxic to the dog.
GRAPES ARE NOT POISONOUS TO DOGS.
WHAT YOU MAY HEARD IS THAT SUGAR IS BAD FOR THE DOGS BECAUSE THEY DONT HAVE MUCH INSULINE.
i don't feed my dogs on anything like grapes they only get there own specified foods tho sometimes i do feel it could b a bit bland at least i know there getting all they need
Both grapes and raisins are poisonous to dogs and can cause acute kidney failure. Other foods that are dangerous to dogs include chocolate, coffee, or any caffeinated drink which can cause theobromine (a disease affecting the heart and nervous systems), any alcoholic beverages which can cause intoxication or coma, or fat trimmings which cause pancreatitis.
NO! Dogs may have a hard time chewing it but i is completely safe! I give my dogs fruit and vegetables. It is actually good for them. Dont worry it is harmless. Do not give them sweets though.
actually they can be poisonous in large amounts. Same as raisins saltanas etc. Also never give your dog chocolate as it has a long term toxicity.
my dog loves grapes and it is funny watching her chase them but they are if fed in large amounts so just be careful
