So, I was making a PB&J during our little couch picnic, and Bella decided grape jelly is her new fave. Not sure if this is dumb, but is that okay for dogs? Anyone else had their pup sneak a taste before?

Hey there! 😊 No question is a dumb question when it comes to our furry friends. I’m here to help! So, grape jelly itself isn’t ideal for dogs, mainly because grapes and raisins can be toxic to them. Thankfully, small amounts of grape jelly typically contain such a tiny percentage of actual grapes that it might not be a big deal. But it's always best to be cautious.

Here’s what you need to watch out for:

• Upset stomach - mild diarrhea or vomiting.
• Lethargy or decreased appetite.
• If you notice any signs of kidney issues like increased thirst or urination, that's a red flag.

If Bella just had a taste or a small lick, it should be okay to monitor her at home for any unusual symptoms. Make sure she’s drinking water and keep an eye on her behavior for the next day or so.

However, if she managed to consume a larger amount, or if you notice any of the more serious signs, give your vet a call right away. It's always better to catch these things early.

Remember, if you're ever unsure or if Bella's symptoms worsen, it's best to book a call with a vet on Dial A Vet for professional advice.
