Hey there! Accidentally dropping a grape might feel like no big deal, but it's actually good you're checking on this. Grapes are unfortunately toxic to dogs, including French Bulldogs like Max and Bella. It's one of those foods that we need to be careful about.
Here's what you need to watch for:
- Vomiting or diarrhea
- Loss of appetite
- Lethargy or weakness
- Abdominal pain
- Increased thirst or urination
If either Max or Bella ate even one grape, it's best to call your vet right away. Grapes can cause kidney failure in dogs, and even a small amount can be serious. This is definitely an emergency, so you'll need a vet's guidance on what to do next.
At home, if for some reason they haven't eaten the grape (whew!), then you're in the clear. But if they did, don't try inducing vomiting or giving any home remedies without a vet's go-ahead; it could do more harm than good.
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.
The "Ask a Vet" forum on Dial A Vet offers general information and helpful tips on pet health, but it's
not a substitute for professional veterinary care. The advice here doesn't create a veterinarian-client-patient relationship, and our vets can't diagnose or treat your pet remotely.
For emergencies or specific medical concerns, always contact your local veterinarian immediately. Your pet's health is unique, and decisions should only be made after consulting with a qualified professional. By using this forum, you acknowledge these limitations and agree to seek in-person veterinary advice for all your pet's health needs. View our
