Hi there! It sounds like you're in a bit of a stressful situation, but I’m here to help you through it. Raisins can be quite harmful to dogs, so it’s great that you reached out. Ingesting raisins can lead to kidney failure in dogs, and the reaction can vary greatly between dogs—some can eat a small number and have severe reactions, while others may eat more without immediate effects.
First, try to estimate how many raisins the dog might have eaten. Even a small amount can be dangerous, so it's important to act swiftly. If it was just a nibble, your dog might just have a mild upset stomach, but you shouldn’t take any risks.
Watch for symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or loss of appetite. These can appear within 6 to 12 hours after eating raisins. If your dog shows any of these symptoms, or if he ate more than a couple of raisins, it's a good idea to contact a vet as soon as possible. Sometimes, inducing vomiting or additional treatments might be necessary.
In the meantime, keep a close watch on him and offer plenty of fresh water.
To get a professional opinion and have an expert guide you on what to do next, I strongly recommend booking a video consult with one of our vets on Dial A Vet. They'll be able to provide tailored advice and support for your specific situation. Take care!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
