Hello! It’s great that you’re reaching out about this because grapes (and raisins) can be toxic to dogs, although blueberries are perfectly safe and even healthy for them. The concern here is whether the grape made contact with your dog's mouth or could have been accidentally ingested along with the blueberry.
Grapes can cause sudden kidney failure in dogs, even in small amounts for some. Since your dog didn’t eat the grape itself, they may not show any problems, but it’s crucial to be on the safe side. Keep an eye out for symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, loss of appetite, or changes in urination habits over the next 24-48 hours. These could indicate a problem and would require immediate attention from a veterinarian.
For now, it may help to make sure your dog stays well-hydrated and monitor their behavior closely. However, if you notice any worrying signs, don’t hesitate to seek veterinary care right away.
It’s always better to consult with a vet to assess the situation properly. I recommend booking a quick video consult with a Dial A Vet professional to discuss whether any further action is needed. Remember, it’s always best to err on the side of caution when it comes to your furry friend's health!
