Hey there! It's great that you're being cautious about what Loki can eat—our furry friends can get curious about our food! About acai, while it’s not highly toxic to dogs, it’s better to avoid giving it to them. Acai berries have theobromine, the same compound that makes chocolate dangerous for dogs, though in much smaller amounts. A little lick won't likely cause harm, but regular or large amounts might be a concern.
If Loki managed to snatch a few berries, here’s what to keep an eye on:
- Diarrhea or vomiting
- Increased thirst or urination
- Restlessness or hyperactivity
If he shows any of these signs and they’re mild, try to ensure he stays hydrated and comfortable. It’s okay to monitor at home initially. However, if you notice severe symptoms, or if he seems to get worse, don't wait to seek vet advice. This could be an emergency situation.
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.
