POISON ALERT!

Did you know ...

This is a very sad case - great dog and great owners, who had no idea that raisins could be a toxin. The dog was a 56 pound mixed breed Labrador, 5 year old neutered male, who ate half a cannister of raisins.

Poison Control said as few as 7 raisins or grapes could be toxic. Many people give their dogs grapes or raisins as treats, including handlers. Any exposure should give rise to immediate concern.

Over a period of three days this
dog was hospitalized but in the
end, due to acute renal failure,
his owner had to euthanize him.

Never be afraid to say what you feel

Infinite Love
