Dog ate 1 Vitamin D3 pill

Hello there! Thanks for reaching out with your concern. When a dog eats something they're not supposed to, it can certainly make us worry. Vitamin D3, while beneficial to humans in the right dosage, can be harmful to dogs if they've ingested too much.



The good news is that a single Vitamin D3 pill might not cause issues right away, especially if it was a small dose. However, toxicity can occur if they consume a large amount relative to their size. Watch for symptoms over the next 12-24 hours. Signs of Vitamin D3 toxicity include vomiting, increased thirst or urination, drooling, loss of appetite, or lethargy.



At home, make sure your dog has access to fresh water, as dehydration can sometimes be a concern if they start vomiting or urinating more frequently. Monitoring them closely for any changes in behavior or health is key.



If your dog shows any of these symptoms or if you're unsure about the amount consumed, it’s important to reach out to a veterinarian promptly. Sometimes, bringing your dog in for a check-up or doing a video consult can offer peace of mind and ensure your pup is safe.



Please consider booking a video consult with Dial A Vet so we can assess your dog's situation more thoroughly and provide personalized advice. Take care!
