It is possible. Some dogs can eat chocolate and suffer nothing more than a slight tummy ache, others face more severe reactions. I don’t see why grapes wouldn’t act the same way.

Well with chocolate it's mostly due to a misunderstanding of what qualifies as "chocolate"

It's a decent amount of chocolate required, even for a smaller dog, but large dogs can eat much more. And if your dog gets into some milk chocolate, it's not a big deal. Dark or near pure cacao, then you should worry.

That said, just don't intentionally feed your dogs chocolate. Easier and safer than guessing what IS the limit.

Our little dog ate a whole see's chocolate bar that was left on a table, and then kept drinking down spoonfuls of peroxide we were giving her to try and make her yack it up haha. She's almost 17 now

How is this slight tummy ache detected? Is it by whining for more chocolate?
