Pet acute-toxicity numeric thresholds — grapes / raisins (dogs)

Claims (C1 — verbatim substrings of source_file)

  • One of the more striking poisonings to have emerged as a potential concern over the last few years has been that of raisin poisoning in dogs.
  • The ingested doses involved in these fatal cases ranged from 10 to 57 g of fruit per kg b. wt.
  • There are now several reports that confirm that ingestion of these fruits can cause renal failure in dogs.
  • Grapes contain an unknown toxin
  • The general consensus at present is that potentially any dose should be considered a problem.
  • Estimated amounts of grapes associated with renal injury in dogs are about 32 g/kg; amounts of raisins associated with signs range from 11–30 g/kg
