Hey there! No need to panic just yet. A small piece of croissant isn't likely to cause significant harm to your dog, but there are a few things to keep in mind. Croissants are high in butter and can be quite fatty, which in some dogs might cause upset stomachs.
Here’s what to watch for over the next day or two:
- Vomiting or diarrhea: Keep an eye out, and if it’s mild, it should pass on its own.
- Panting or restlessness: This could indicate an upset stomach.
If it was a really small amount, and your dog seems normal, you can monitor at home. Ensure your pup has plenty of fresh water and a comfy place to rest. If you notice any of the above symptoms getting worse or not improving, it might be worth a call.
However, if you notice any of these more serious symptoms, you should contact your vet right away:
- Severe vomiting or diarrhea, especially if it lasts more than a day
- Lethargy or extreme weakness
- Signs of severe abdominal pain, like yelping when touched or trying to hide
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.
