so i just got back from the park with my dog, waffles, and my partner swears he saw on tiktok that honeydew is fine for dogs. waffles managed to swipe a piece off the table while i wasn’t looking - should i be concerned or just get a tiktok account?

Hey there! No need to panic. Honeydew melon is generally safe for dogs in small amounts, so Waffles should be okay. It sounds like he just had a little rogue snack. 😊

Here's the scoop:

• If Waffles only had a small piece, he's likely to be just fine. Honeydew is mostly water and can even be hydrating.
• Just keep an eye on him for any signs of tummy trouble like nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. If you notice these, it's a good idea to let him have access to fresh water and give his stomach a break from food for a few hours.
• If he starts showing any severe symptoms like persistent vomiting, diarrhea, or if he seems unusually tired or restless, that could be more serious, and you'd want to give your vet a call.
• There’s not really a toxicity issue with honeydew, but too much can be tough to digest, so moderation is key in the future.
• If there's any doubt or Waffles tends to have sensitive digestion, it's always wise to chat with 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.
