Raisins and Friut Cakes

Christmas pudding (which contains raisins) is poisonous to your pets. Grape and raisin toxicity is well documented in dogs. Although the exact substance that causes the toxic reaction is not well understood, it has been shown that even tiny amounts of grapes or raisins can be fatally toxic for a dog. Dogs of any age, breed or gender can be affected.


One of the most serious complications in grape/raisin toxicity is acute kidney failure. Signs include vomiting, diarrhoea, inappetence, abdominal pain, lethargy and passing only a small amount of urine or even complete cessation of urine.
