Hey there! It's great that you're checking before sharing those tacos. Refried beans in small amounts shouldn't be harmful to your dog, but there are a few things to consider.

- If you notice excessive drooling, lethargy, or any signs of abdominal pain (like not wanting to move), that's when you might want to be more concerned.
- Most mild symptoms, such as slight tummy rumbling or gassiness, can be managed by withholding food for a few hours and ensuring he has plenty of fresh water.
- However, if you note severe symptoms, especially involving breathing difficulties or repeated vomiting, it's time to see a vet.
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.
The "Ask a Vet" forum on Dial A Vet offers general information and helpful tips on pet health, but it's
not a substitute for professional veterinary care. The advice here doesn't create a veterinarian-client-patient relationship, and our vets can't diagnose or treat your pet remotely.
For emergencies or specific medical concerns, always contact your local veterinarian immediately. Your pet's health is unique, and decisions should only be made after consulting with a qualified professional. By using this forum, you acknowledge these limitations and agree to seek in-person veterinary advice for all your pet's health needs. View our
