Someone at work today told me that grapes were toxic to dogs, even worse than chocolate. Is there any truth to this? Of course I don't want my pup to get sick, but she really loves the taste of grapes. Thanks in advance for the advice!
There are phenolic compounds that can be toxic to the kidneys- if consumed in large quanities. An occaisonal grape isn't going to hurt. Filling their dish with a pound of grapes is a different issue. No need to panic if another grape escapes. Peanut butter inside a Kong toy might interest puppy.
