Hello, I'm glad you reached out with your concern. Vitamin D, while essential in small amounts, can be harmful to dogs if ingested in large quantities. If your dog just had a single pill, the most likely initial symptom could be mild gastrointestinal upset, like vomiting or diarrhea. It's important to monitor your pup closely for these signs.
In some cases, higher doses of Vitamin D can lead to more serious issues, affecting your dog's kidneys and overall health. Watch for symptoms such as increased thirst and urination, weakness, or even tremors, as these may indicate a more serious reaction.
For safe at-home care, ensure your dog has access to fresh water at all times and try to keep them calm to prevent any stress-induced symptoms. Removing any remaining pills from their reach is crucial to prevent further ingestion.
Keep a close eye on your furry friend for the next 24–48 hours. If you observe any signs of toxicity like those I mentioned earlier, it’s important to seek veterinary assistance right away.
For peace of mind and specific guidance, consider booking a video consult with one of our Dial A Vet professionals. They can provide you with tailored advice and help assess if any immediate veterinary care is necessary. Wishing your dog a swift recovery!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
