Is it correct that dogs cannot eat grapes or raisins?

They can cause kidney failure:

Even a few grapes or raisins have killed some dogs. At one time it was though to be the mold on the skin, but perhaps not. Just why isn't clear yet. I first heard about it in 2006 in a talk by a vet. It is unfortunate people here are telling others that grapes and raisins are nothing to worry about.

I think some nuts are OK, but not macadamia nuts, and perhaps almonds. Peanuts aren't nuts, and peanut butter is OK. However like many other things, it is not a complete and balanced diet and should be limited.

There is a chemical within the grape that can be detrimental to a dogs health-- but I have yet to see a dog get sick from having a few as a treat every once in a while. Peanuts are not nuts-- they are legumes--that is why they are 'ok' Tree nuts-- I think are just very hard for a dog to digest-- very irritating to the gut lining.

for something so possible to occur, why would it not be well known about the dangers. Dogs of course,

eat anything resembling food. If this danger was real, I think the muti-millions of dog owners would be

aware of such possibilities. I'm a dog lover{exception,bit bulls) and have never heard of this absurdity.

Response:myth

no dogs cant eat grapes because of the certain acid in them their stomach cannot break down the hard skin and it can lead to stomack problems and kidney failure, its not so much the grape itself its the components of it mostly the skin

I think the dog can eat grapes and raisins,it is a normal thing.

No they are toxic to dogs they can get the very very sick.

They cause kidney failure in sufficient quantities.
