You are cooling a fresh loaf of raisin bread on the counter and your pup is giving you the “puh puh puh plllleeeeease” eyes. Can you give her a slice?

No. Raisins even in small quantities can cause big issues. Dogs should never be offered or allowed to eat them. Raisins contain compounds that can gravely affect a dog’s kidneys, which ultimately can lead to death. Keep a close eye on your dog if she has ingested raisins. 

Signs of toxicity: 

• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Pain when touched
• Loss of appetite
• Increased thirst
• Renal failure

If any of these symptoms occur, contact a veterinarian immediately. You can set a virtual appointment with a licensed vet right here.
