I accidentally left the pantry open and Bella grabbed some sweet potato skins. Should I be freaking out? Do I need to call a vet? Is this dangerous for her? She's never eaten them before and I'm really worried!

Hey there! No need to panic. Sweet potato skins are generally not toxic to dogs, but they can be a little tough on a dog's tummy if they're not used to eating them. Here's what to keep an eye out for: mild digestive upset, like vomiting or diarrhea. This is more about the fibrous texture than any toxins.

Here's what you can do:

• Monitor her for signs of an upset stomach, like decreased appetite, vomiting, or diarrhea.
• Ensure she has access to fresh water to stay hydrated, especially if she does have loose stools.
• If she seems fine otherwise—active, drinking water, and behaving normally—there’s no immediate concern.
• If Bella's vomiting or diarrhea becomes severe, or if she seems unusually lethargic, that’s a good reason to call the vet.

Generally, as long as Bella isn’t showing any worrying signs, you can give it some time. But if things start to look worse, it’s best to get professional advice.

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.
