just chilling on the couch with Max and munching on some dried mango. Is it cool if he has a nibble too, or is that not a thing? Not sure if this is dumb, but he's giving me those puppy eyes!

Hey there! Hanging out with Max sounds like a perfect afternoon. Those puppy eyes can be hard to resist, right? So, about the dried mango: a little nibble here and there is usually okay for most dogs, but it's good to keep a few things in mind.

Dried fruits like mango can be high in sugar, and too much can upset Max's stomach or lead to weight gain over time. So, moderation is key. Here’s what you can look out for:

• Symptoms: Watch for any signs of an upset stomach, like vomiting or diarrhea. Also, look for any unusual behavior like fatigue or changes in appetite.
• Emergency vs. Non-Emergency: If Max has a small bite and seems fine, there's usually no cause for concern. However, if he consumed a lot and you're seeing severe symptoms like repeated vomiting, diarrhea with blood, or extreme lethargy, it's best to contact a vet immediately.
• What to Do at Home: If he only had a tiny taste and seems fine, just monitor him for any symptoms. Ensure he has plenty of water, and avoid giving him any more dried mango or other human foods for now.

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.
