This Goldendoodle Turned 8 Minutes of Freedom Into a Vet Visit
There comes a time when every pet parent has to leave their dog home alone and trust that they won't find trouble while unsupervised. TikToker @gothm0m made that decision and left her Goldendoodle alone for just eight minutes, but she quickly regretted it.
Watch what the determined pup managed to get into in such a short amount of time. We're not entirely sure where she found all of these things, but it's clear that even though Mom and Dad thought they had dog-proofed the house, they underestimated just how motivated their doodle would be to find her own entertainment. Unfortunately, one of her discoveries turned out to be raisins, earning her a two-night stay at the vet and giving her family a scare they'll never forget.

Gothm0m shared an update in the caption that cracked us up: "She is recovered, doing well and has absolutely no regrets."
We're guessing that given the chance, she'd do it all over again!

Why Are Raisins So Dangerous for Dogs?
Commenter @Maggie joked, "Raisins and chocolate? That dog knows just what she's not allowed to eat! LOL!" To which the puppy's mom replied, "LITERALLY."
Most dog parents know that chocolate is toxic to dogs, but fewer realize that grapes and raisins can be even more dangerous. According to veterinarian Dr. Adam Christman, even small amounts can potentially lead to kidney failure, and surprisingly, veterinarians still don't fully understand why some dogs are affected more severely than others.
Cornell University notes that recent research has identified tartaric acid and its salt, potassium bitartrate, as the most likely culprits. Grapes and raisins contain high levels of both compounds, but the exact toxic dose remains unknown.
Interestingly, Cornell also points out that "products such as grape juice, jelly, leaves, grape seed oil, and wine have not been associated with toxicosis, likely because processing removes or reduces tartaric acid."
Symptoms of grape or raisin toxicity can include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, loss of appetite, increased thirst, and decreased urination. Because reactions can vary widely from dog to dog, veterinarians recommend seeking immediate medical attention anytime a dog consumes grapes or raisins.
