| I'd call your vet rather than relying on online help.

| I'm sure it is fine but since he is so small, I'd induce vomiting.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | You might want to check out this website, "no one has reported poisoning from their pets ingesting the occasional single grape or raisin. The cases we have received involved ingestion of 2 ounces to 4.4 ounces." http://www.dogpack.com/health/GrapesRaisinsAndDogs.html

| Ever since I got Yorkies, I don't keep raisins in the house anymore. It's too dangerous. They could easily eat several of them so fast.

Since the minimum toxic amount of grapes and raisins isn't really known, I might have induced vomiting with 3% hydrogen peroxide for a small dog (especially if they ate more than one). I wouldn't do this for a big dog unless they ate three or four.

| One raisin should not be a concern. I am sure your vet will tell you that. |

| raisin Honestly, until 2 yrs ago I had no clue not to give grapes or raisins...I used both for treats...I should have had a houseful of dead Yorkies...I do not give them now since I know better...and my good friend used to buy chocolate Easter bunnies for all her Yorkies...we must have tough Yorkies despite us trying to kill them..LOL |

You make a good point. When I was young, there use to be chocolate covered dog treats, not carob, but actually chocolate. Many of the things that we now know to be harmful to dogs came about from dogs eating large quantities of the substance. If dogs get a hold of certain food items they seem to have no sense of fullness and will eat vast quantities of something. So the list of harmful substances continues to grow; and with yorkies being so small, it's wise to cautious if it eats of even a small quantity of one of the forbidden items.
