    I searched this through DDG, but I likely used different prompts than you:

    • reason toxicity raisins dogs
    • reason toxicity grapes dogs
    • tartaric acid human toxicity metabolism

    then parsed it into the answer I gave you.

        If you want some tips on searching…

        Split the problem into smaller parts. For example, you won’t find good results comparing grape toxicity in dogs and humans; but you might get good results for dogs alone.

        Use the info from one search to fuel other searches. For example, once I found that raw grapes were also poisonous to dogs, I shifted the query from raisins to grapes - because it’s easier to find info on a fruit than on its processed form. I did this again once I discovered that tartaric acid was to blame, it allowed me to search for info specifically for humans.

        Use keywords, not full sentences. All those “why”, “is”, “the” etc. only add noise, and make you land right into SEO-land.

        Quotation marks and the minus sign. I did neither here, but use them deliberately, to force (quotation marks) or exclude (minus) results. The minus is specially useful against SEO.
