The studies conducted verified that the toxicity of grapes to canines is not due to fertilizers and pesticides used. One thing is for sure though - grapes can cause renal failure in canines. This is a very serious condition as the pet would not only suffer from severe pain but the pet may also expire if no immediate treatment is administered.

Oxidant or free radicals are the good cells that turned into rebellious cells because of the unhealthy lifestyle of people .
