My dog ate an entire sleeve of gas-x and possibly some foil packaging

Oh goodness, it sounds like your curious pup got into a bit of trouble! Don't worry—I'm here to help you navigate what to do next.



Gas-X tablets contain simethicone, which is generally safe for dogs in small amounts, but eating a large quantity could potentially lead to an upset tummy, diarrhea, or vomiting. The bigger concern here is the foil packaging, which could cause an obstruction in your dog's digestive tract.



At home, keep a close eye on your dog. Offer some bland food like boiled chicken and rice to help settle their stomach. Look out for signs such as repeated vomiting, a bloated abdomen, lethargy, or changes in eating and bathroom habits. These could indicate an obstruction and require immediate veterinary attention.



Make sure your dog has plenty of fresh water available and monitor them for any discomfort or distress. If you notice any of these concerning signs, I recommend contacting a vet as soon as possible.
