the problem is ... this is anecdotal. There are no controlled studies showing the
toxicity of grapes. the dog is sick, people bring in the dog, the vet asks what the
dog ate, and what the human can remember renders it anecdotal. obviously, lots of
dogs, foxes and wolves eat grapes without getting sick or dying. they love them,
dont have an aversion which is expected if they were routinely toxic as evolution
takes care of instilling avoidance. why grapes may be toxic for some dogs is not
understood. SO FAR, no toxic compounds have been found in grapes. No scientific
studies have been done. Ingrid
