Calculate the poisoning risk from grapes or raisins for your dog
Important: Raisins are 7x more concentrated than grapes and therefore particularly dangerous! 1 grape ≈ 5g, 1 raisin ≈ 0.5g. The toxic threshold is about 19.6 g grapes per kg body weight, but even smaller amounts can be dangerous.
1 grape ≈ 5g
1 raisin ≈ 0.5g (7x more toxic!)
Symptoms of grape poisoning:
• Vomiting (often within 2-6 hours)
• Diarrhea
• Lethargy and weakness
• Loss of appetite
• Abdominal pain
• Reduced urine production (sign of kidney failure)
Timeframe: The first 24-48 hours are critical! The sooner treatment begins, the better the prognosis.
