Q My nine-year-old English springer spaniel loves grapes but I heard they are bad for dogs. Is this true?

A Grapes can be toxic to dogs, causing kidney damage and even death.

Diarrhoea and vomiting tend to be the first symptoms. The estimated danger dose is around 32g, while just 11-30g of raisins can cause problems. Switch to a meaty treat to keep your dog healthy.
