Hi there! Great question, and I totally understand the concern. The good news is that bamboo is generally non-toxic to dogs, so if your furry friend has a nibble, it's likely okay. However, some bamboo look-alikes like heavenly bamboo (Nandina) can be harmful, so double-check which kind you have.
Keep an eye out for any unusual behavior or mild symptoms such as:
If you see mild symptoms like the ones above, it's usually not an emergency. Monitor your pup at home and make sure they stay hydrated. If they seem uncomfortable or symptoms persist for more than a day, give your vet a call.
If your dog shows severe symptoms such as difficulty breathing, loss of consciousness, or seizures, seek emergency veterinary care immediately.
A little home care you can do involves offering plenty of fresh water to keep them hydrated and monitoring them closely for any changes. Most of the time, they'll bounce back just fine!
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.

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
