Hi there! It's great that you're keeping an eye on what your pup gets into. Blue cheese is a bit of a tricky one because it contains a substance called roquefortine C, which isn't very dog-friendly. Some dogs might handle a tiny accidental taste without any issues, but for others, it could upset their tummy or more.
Here's what you should keep an eye out for:
If your pup just had a small amount and is showing no symptoms, you're probably fine, but do keep an eye on them for the next few hours. If you notice vomiting, diarrhea, or any odd behavior, give your vet a call to check in.
A trip to the vet is definitely recommended if you notice any severe symptoms like persistent vomiting, tremors, or if your pup got into a large chunk of blue cheese. These could indicate that professional help is needed more urgently.
For now, just monitor your pup. Offer plenty of fresh water, and make sure they have a comfortable place to rest. If you feel unsure about anything you're seeing, it's always better to err on the side of caution.
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
