Hey, not sure if this is a thing, but Rocky snatched a grape off the counter during our BBQ. Should I be worried or am I just being a paranoid pet parent? Anyone else’s pup pulled off a daring grape heist before?

Hey there! Totally get why you're concerned — grapes can be tricky with dogs. While not all dogs react to grapes, they can cause kidney issues in some pups, so it's best to be cautious.

Here's what you should keep an eye out for over the next 24-48 hours:

• Lethargy (Rocky might seem more tired than usual)
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Loss of appetite
• Increased thirst or urination

If Rocky just had one grape and he's a bigger dog, there’s a good chance he might be just fine, but small dogs may be more at risk. If you notice any of the symptoms above, especially vomiting or lethargy, that's when it's time to check in with a vet.

For now, stay calm and monitor him. If he shows no signs and is his usual playful self, he should be okay. However, if you're ever in doubt or he starts showing symptoms, it’s better to chat with a vet sooner rather than later.

Dogs can be sneaky little rascals! From what other pet parents say, grape heists do happen quite often, so you're definitely not alone.

If you're unsure or your pet’s symptoms worsen, it's best to book a call with a vet on Dial A Vet for professional advice.
