70# dog + 3 cups of bread dough

Hi there! It sounds like your dog has gotten into something they shouldn't have—dogs do have a knack for finding those tasty, off-limits snacks!



When a dog eats bread dough, there's a key concern: as the dough sits in their warm stomach, it can continue to rise and expand, potentially causing a bloated tummy or even twisting of the stomach, known as gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV)—a serious condition. Another issue is the dough producing alcohol as it ferments, which can lead to alcohol toxicosis.



At home, keep an eye out for signs like a distended belly, repeated attempts to vomit, weakness, disorientation, or exaggerated efforts to get comfortable. These could indicate a serious problem.



For now, make sure your pup doesn't have access to any more dough and encourage them to rest. It's best not to try inducing vomiting at home unless advised by a vet, as it can sometimes cause more harm than good.



Since this situation can turn serious quickly, I highly recommend booking a video consult with a vet on Dial A Vet to discuss your dog's specific symptoms and determine if an emergency visit is necessary. We're here to help you and your furry friend!
