Thanks for reaching out with your question. It's understandable to be concerned when your dog gets into something unexpected like sweet almond oil. The good news is that sweet almond oil is generally non-toxic to dogs, but consuming it in large amounts might lead to some tummy troubles.
After ingesting 2-3 ounces, your dog might experience mild gastrointestinal upset, such as diarrhea or vomiting. It's an oily substance, so the digestive system might react by trying to expel it. However, this should be temporary. Ensure your dog stays hydrated, as these symptoms can cause fluid loss. Offer plenty of fresh water and maybe some bland food like boiled chicken and rice to help soothe their stomach.
Keep an eye on your pup for any signs of more severe issues, such as lethargy, continued vomiting or diarrhea, lack of appetite, or any changes in behavior. If you notice any of these signs, it's important to seek veterinary care promptly.
If you're ever unsure or if symptoms persist, it’s always a good idea to get in touch with a vet. I recommend booking a video consult with Dial A Vet to discuss any concerns you may have and to ensure your furry friend's well-being. Stay safe!
