I left the pantry open and Max ate a whole bag of Goldfish crackers! Should I be freaking out? Is this dangerous for dogs? Do I need to call a vet immediately or is he going to be okay? I'm so worried!

Hi there! Don't worry too much, let's go through this together. Goldfish crackers aren't toxic to dogs, but eating a whole bag can certainly lead to an upset tummy. Here's what you should watch for:

• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Signs of bloating, like a hard belly
• Lethargy or unusual behavior

If Max shows any of these symptoms, especially if they persist, it might be a good idea to check in with a vet. For now, keep an eye on him and make sure he has plenty of water to help flush all that salt out of his system. Avoid offering any more food until his stomach seems settled.

This isn't considered an emergency unless he starts showing severe symptoms like difficulty breathing, extreme lethargy, or if his tummy looks very bloated. In those rare cases, going to the vet immediately is your best bet.

Keep in mind, every dog is a bit different – if you notice something that seems off or you're worried, it's always safe to reach out to a professional.

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.
