dad has given Gubbeen cheese rind to dog and is now unwell. should he go to the vet?

Hello there,



I’m sorry to hear your pup isn't feeling great after snacking on some Gubbeen cheese rind. Cheese rinds can be challenging for dogs to digest and may lead to tummy troubles like vomiting, diarrhea, or gas. Since Gubbeen has a strong flavor and can be quite rich, this could upset your dog's stomach, especially if they're not used to it.



At home, you can try withholding food for a few hours to give your pup’s tummy a rest, but make sure they have access to fresh water to stay hydrated. Afterward, you could offer a small meal of boiled chicken and rice, which is gentle on the stomach.



Keep an eye on your dog for any signs of serious issues, like persistent vomiting or diarrhea, a swollen belly, or lethargy. If you notice any of these, or if your dog starts showing signs of an allergic reaction like difficulty breathing or swelling, it's crucial to seek veterinary care right away.



Since it’s always better to be safe, consider booking a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet. We can provide specific guidance and help ensure your furry friend is on the mend. Take care!
