Your dog has consumed a 10mg grape seed extract tablet, and you're understandably worried due to the known toxicity of grapes in dogs.
- Grape seed extract is different from whole grapes, but caution is still advised.
- Monitor your dog for any symptoms of distress or unusual behavior.
- Consult a veterinarian if you're unsure or if symptoms develop.
While grape seed extract is not the same as consuming whole grapes or raisins—which are known to cause kidney damage to dogs—it’s best to be cautious. Grape seed extract can still have compounds that may upset your dog's stomach or cause other mild symptoms. Keep an eye on your dog for any signs of discomfort, such as vomiting or diarrhea.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
Book a consultation with a licensed vet at Dial A Vet for just $49 AUD if you're unsure or symptoms are getting worse.
