Found this info on the petzlife official website:

ingredient: grape seed extract


Hi, you guys called and sent some info about your product for teeth. I also
visited your site. Lots of great testimonials. I noticed that one of the
first ingredients is grape seed extract. I know that for some unknown reason
grapes and raisins can be toxic to dogs, sometimes causing renal failure,
and I was concerned about grape seed extract's safety. I'd really like to
try your products and perhaps carry them in my store, can you ease my
concerns?

Thanks in advance,

HI,


I think the issue of grape and raison toxicity, like chocolat toxicity is really blown out of proportion by the media. Yes, they can be a problem....in large quantities. I've had many clients over the years that feed their pets a couple grapes or raisons as a snack, with no problems. But you obviously would not want to give a five pound chihuahua a cup of grapes Many Hunters use to give their hunting dogs a chocolat bar halfway thru the hunt for a "boost". Again no problems. I don't recommend giving dogs chocolat and some dogs are more sensitive to it than others, but again in small quantities it usually won't cause a problem..


Grape seed extract is not toxic. We use a product called proanthozone for allergies in dogs and cats and it's active ingredient is grape seed extract. It's a great product, my own dog takes it for his allergies. We sell it in quantities ranging from 10mg to 50mg. My dog takes 100mg a day and he is a 65lb Border Collie mix.

Hope this helps.

I'm not sure if this makes me feel it will be 100% safe for my 2.9 pound baby....hmmm.....you can never be too careful I guess.
