so i was making a sandwich and accidentally dropped a piece of dill on the floor. before i could get it, my dog, buster, scarfed it down like it was filet mignon. partner says it's fine, but i'm having second thoughts. can dogs even eat dill?

Hey there! First of all, don’t worry too much. Dogs can actually eat dill, and it’s generally considered safe for them to have in small amounts. So, Buster should be just fine after his little herbal snack!

Here’s what to keep an eye out for, just in case:

• If Buster seems to get a mild upset stomach, keep an eye on him for any signs like vomiting or diarrhea. Usually, these symptoms are temporary and can pass within a day.
• Make sure he's drinking water to stay hydrated. You can encourage him by offering fresh, clean water.
• If you notice anything unusual like lethargy, inability to keep food or water down, or signs of distress, then it might be best to check with a vet.

Luckily, dill isn’t toxic to dogs like chocolate or grapes, so there’s no specific toxicity level to worry about here. If he only had a small amount, it’s likely he’ll be back to his usual self in no time. But of course, moderation is key with any human food when it comes to our furry friends.

If you're unsure or your pet’s symptoms worsen, it's best to book a call with a vet on Dial A Vet for professional advice.
