Hey there! Thanks for reaching out about Mr. Woofs. So, dogs and Pringles aren't the best combination. While they aren't doggy kryptonite, they aren't healthy either. Pringles are high in fat, salt, and seasonings that aren't kind to a dog's tummy.
Here's what to look out for:
- Minor symptoms: Upset stomach, vomiting, or diarrhea are pretty common after sneaking a salty snack.
- More concerning signs: Excessive thirst, lethargy, or trouble walking can be signs of salt poisoning. This is more serious and needs attention.
If Mr. Woofs only had a couple of chips, these tummy troubles might pass with some TLC. Make sure he has plenty of water available to keep him hydrated. Monitor him closely to see if symptoms get worse.
However, call the vet if:
- He ate a large amount, especially if he's a small dog.
- He's vomiting persistently or can't seem to perk up.
- You notice muscle tremors or seizures.
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.
The "Ask a Vet" forum on Dial A Vet offers general information and helpful tips on pet health, but it's
not a substitute for professional veterinary care. The advice here doesn't create a veterinarian-client-patient relationship, and our vets can't diagnose or treat your pet remotely.
For emergencies or specific medical concerns, always contact your local veterinarian immediately. Your pet's health is unique, and decisions should only be made after consulting with a qualified professional.
