Can dogs eat grapes and why?

Dogs cannot eat grapes. There is a substance in grapes that can cause kidney failure in dogs, so they cannot eat grapes. Raisins are also not allowed to be eaten. If we want to give fruits to dogs, we can choose apples and bananas. Such fruits can help dogs' gastrointestinal motility and enhance their digestive function.

Tip:

Fruits are not strictly needed by dogs. They still need to eat more easily digestible things.
