Why limited
Keep Fruit juice to small, occasional amounts. Sensitive pets may react to it, and sugar- or fat-heavy foods raise the risk of obesity and pancreatitis.
Mostly sugar with no fibre. Grape and raisin juice is outright toxic — never give those.
Dogs and cats carry the same rating (Feed with care), so the notes below hold for either pet.
If it ate some before you noticed, watch for vomiting, diarrhoea, loss of appetite, unusual tiredness or a painful, swollen abdomen over the next 24 hours. A one-off small amount in a healthy adult usually passes with water and rest; repeated exposure, a puppy or kitten, a senior, or a pet with an ongoing illness is a reason to call your vet the same day.

Why these cautions matter
Grapes and raisins are linked to kidney failure in dogs, and no safe amount is reliable — some pets react after only a few.
Added sugar brings empty calories, and over months that means weight gain and dental disease — both far harder to undo than to avoid.
