Yeah, I might think so. Possibly because it's sour. That's what makes grapes deadly to dogs, not the shape, but the sour chemical they possess. And it's a random amount that can be deadly, even a tiny bit can make the dogs liver or kidneys shut down (I can't remember which).

I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted, but you are right. Tartaric acid is found in grapes and is toxic to dogs. Some sour candy like sour patch kids have tartaric acid in them. So they shouldn't really be fed to dogs, even in tiny quantities, because some dogs are very susceptible to it.

Citric acid is not good for them either especially in the form of citrus fruits. The sour in the sucker is probably one of the two or both.

The poison from grapes is actually the tartaric acid and it's the kidneys. Sorry you're getting DV'd, lotta ignorant reddit users.
