Can cats or dogs eat dried currants?

Cats: Be careful · Dogs: Do not eat — Dried Zante currants, commonly used in baked goods, are related to grapes and raisins. The VCA says they can cause kidney failure in dogs even in small amounts. The exact toxin is not yet known. In cats, there are occasional reports, but the risk has not been clearly confirmed. Therefore, you should avoid it first as well. (Fresh Ribes currants used for making jam or eaten fresh are a different type and do not pose a risk to the kidneys.) If a dog eats any amount of dried currants, Take him to the veterinarian immediately to monitor his kidney function. If it's a cat, you should also take it for a checkup as a precaution.
