WARNING: RAISINS AND GRAPES CAN BE TOXIC TO YOUR DOG!

At Diamond™ Pet Foods we love our pets, and we are always on the lookout for things that could potentially cause harm to our friends. There are many rumors about foods that are perfectly fine for people, but that can cause illness or even death for dogs.

Grapes and their dried version, raisins, have been known to cause renal failure and death in some dogs. While it is not yet known exactly what the toxin in grapes and raisins is, there have been several cases in which dogs have been rushed to emergency centers to no avail.

Since we all love our pets, it is very important to stay informed about the things that can harm them. Below please find a list of websites recommended by the ASPCA on specific pet health care problems.
