Common questions
If grape ivy is safe, why are grapes dangerous?
The toxicity in dogs comes from grapes and raisins — the fruit of Vitis vinifera — not from Cissus vines. The shared "grape" nickname is purely cosmetic.
My dog chewed a grape ivy stem — should I worry?
No. Watch for ordinary stomach upset from the fiber; there is no toxic principle to worry about.
