Dog ate entire bag of instant mashed potatoes ... Dry

Hello there!



It’s understandable to feel worried when our furry friends get into something they shouldn’t. Eating a whole bag of dry instant mashed potatoes can indeed cause some discomfort for your pup. These potatoes will expand in your dog’s stomach, possibly leading to bloating or even constipation.



In this situation, you’ll want to monitor your dog for any signs of distress. Keep an eye out for symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, or a bloated belly. Additionally, watch for more serious signs such as excessive drooling, lethargy, or difficulty breathing, as these may indicate a more serious issue that needs immediate attention.



For now, ensure your pup has access to plenty of fresh water. This can help manage any potential digestive issues and prevent dehydration. You can also try feeding small, bland meals like boiled chicken and rice until everything passes through smoothly.



While your furry friend may be perfectly fine after a little upset tummy, it’s a good idea to keep watch over the next day or two. If you notice any concerning symptoms or if your dog appears uncomfortable, booking a video consult with one of our Dial A Vet professionals would be the best next step. Everyone here is ready to help and offer peace of mind when you need it most!
