Hey there! No worries at all, it's great that you're checking in on what's safe for Sparky. Deviled eggs aren't toxic to dogs, but there are a few things to consider. The ingredients like mustard or mayo and the spices could upset Sparky's tummy, especially if he's not used to them yet. Small amounts might be okay, but it's best to introduce new foods slowly and in moderation.
If Sparky happens to sneak a bite, watch out for these symptoms:
- Upset stomach or diarrhea
- Vomiting
- Excessive gas
These symptoms are usually not emergencies, just uncomfortable for your pup. You can try to make him comfortable, ensure he has access to fresh water, and monitor him closely. If any of these symptoms occur, give him a bland diet for a day, like boiled chicken and rice, to help settle his stomach.
If Sparky shows more severe signs, such as:
- Repeated vomiting
- Lethargy
- Refusal to eat or drink
This could be more serious, and you should reach out to a vet as soon as possible.
Overall, there's no major cause for alarm with deviled eggs in small amounts, but it's always best to play it safe and keep treats plain and simple for puppies. 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.
