Can I give my dog Raisins?

Raisins, also known as currants and Zante currants, are unfortunately highly toxic to dogs and can result in severe kidney damage or renal failure. It is important to note that this applies to all types of raisins, so it’s best to avoid feeding them to your furry friend altogether. There are no known benefits for dogs from consuming raisins, but the risks are severe and should not be taken lightly.
