Can Cats Eat Raisins? No, Call Your Vet
Avoid; call for advice
No. Do not give raisins to cats; the true feline toxicity risk is unknown, so call for case-specific advice after exposure.
RaisinsAsk your vet
Call your veterinarian or a pet poison hotline promptly if your cat ate raisins, grapes, currants, or raisin-containing food.
Count the missing pieces
The amount, timing, and your cat's weight help the veterinarian decide what to do next.
Check baked goods
Raisins hide in bread, cookies, cereal, trail mix, and fruitcake, not just loose snack bowls.
How to handle it
- Remove the raisins and check cereal, trail mix, bread, cookies, fruitcake, bags, and counters for missing pieces.
- Call your veterinarian or a pet poison hotline with the amount, timing, and your cat's weight.
Avoid
- Raisins, grapes, currants, raisin bread, trail mix, cereal, cookies, fruitcake, and waiting for symptoms after a known exposure.
- Trying to induce vomiting or give home remedies unless a veterinary professional tells you to.
Watch
- Vomiting, diarrhea, poor appetite, belly pain, lethargy, weakness, increased thirst, urination changes, tremors, or behavior that feels wrong.
Portion
No intentional serving. Estimate any exposure and call for advice because feline risk and dose are not established.
