10 Things Not to Feed Your Pets

Grapes/Raisins — An unusually common treat for both cats and dogs – though it’s definitely not one we’d recommend. Grapes and raisins can cause kidney failure in cats and dogs, even in small quantities. If you’re worried that your dog has eaten some, look for vomiting and lethargy. Cats will vomit and be hyperactive. Either way, make sure you find a more appropriate treat for your pet.
