quick question: Is it okay if Luna sneaks a taste of banana pudding while we're chilling on the couch? Not sure if this is a dumb worry, but she keeps giving me those puppy eyes. Anyone have thoughts on this?

Hey there! It's totally natural to worry about what Luna can and can't indulge in when she gives you those irresistible eyes. Let’s take a moment to break it down:

Banana pudding isn’t toxic to dogs, but it does contain ingredients that aren't ideal for them. The pudding usually has sugar and possibly dairy, which can upset Luna's stomach, especially if she's lactose intolerant. A little taste might not cause issues, but moderation is key.

• Watch for symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, or signs of discomfort. These could mean it's not sitting well with her stomach.
• If she shows mild symptoms, try offering her some water and keep an eye on her. Stick to her normal diet to help her tummy settle.
• However, if you notice severe symptoms, like persistent vomiting, lethargy, or if Luna seems particularly uncomfortable, it's time to get professional advice.
• In the future, if you’d like to give her a treat, try plain bananas instead. They’re safe and healthy in small amounts!

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.
