I looked, I could find NO scientific evidence that shows what it is in grapes that
could be toxic. What literature are you talking about? we had dogs used to graze
thu our grape arbors .... grapes on demand without harm.
now there could be an immunological problem with some dogs. and immune complexes can
damage the kidneys (glomerularnephritis). but giving dogs a couple grapes as treats
and for the vitamins is not going to harm them.

same with cocoa mulch. most dogs wont touch it. it is bitter and disgusting. of
course, I think cocoa mulch is pretty useless as mulch too. Ingrid

Needless to say, there is absolutely no scientific evidence grapes are poisonous, all
they got are a few anecdotal incidents.
It is my understanding that there is scientific evidence sited in the
literature that grapes can cause maybe a type of anemia (i'm not sure
of the actual condition) in dogs. It is a cumulative effect. so,
don't be so quick with your labels!
