15 lb 9 month old puppy ate 3/4 of a bag of treats two nights ago. Time for the vet?

Thanks for reaching out with your concern. Puppies sure know how to keep us on our toes! Eating too many treats at once can definitely upset their little tummies. This might cause them to feel a bit sluggish or produce loose stools for a day or two. Often, this resolves on its own with some simple at-home care.



To help your puppy feel better, make sure they have plenty of fresh water available, as treats can sometimes make them extra thirsty. You can also offer smaller, more bland meals such as plain boiled chicken and rice until their tummy settles down. However, be careful not to change their diet too abruptly, as that can sometimes lead to further digestive issues.



Keep an eye on your pup for any serious signs, like vomiting, diarrhea that lasts more than a day, a swollen belly, or if they seem unusually lethargic or in pain. These could indicate something more serious, like an intestinal blockage or pancreatitis, which would require immediate veterinary attention.



If you notice any of these signs, or if you're just feeling unsure, it’s always better to be safe and have a professional take a look. I’d encourage you to book a video consult with Dial A Vet so we can assess your puppy’s condition more closely and guide you on the next steps.
