I just heard a terrible, terrible story. My geologist's black lab got into some grapes. He ate probably a pound of grapes. He started to go downhill over the next couple of days. Gary took Marcel to the vet. The vet did bloodwork and said "This dog has kidney failure." He was referred to an acute care specialist who put Marcel on dialysis. $11,000 later he had to put Marcel down. Grapes are toxic to dogs' kidneys. Don't let your dog anywhere near grapes.

Yeah,

Grapes are pretty bad for pets. In short, rule of thumb, feed only good organic dog food

I had no idea grapes were toxic to dogs. My dogs don't get grapes except now and then when one falls to the floor, and they like them too. I will be careful from now on. Thanks George.

I also read that grapes can cause dogs to lose their vision.
