Hey there! First off, congrats on your new puppy, Max! It's totally normal to feel unsure when you're a new pet parent, so don't worry about it being a dumb question. You're being a responsible owner by asking.
So, about Spam: it’s best to avoid it. While it isn't toxic in small amounts, Spam is processed and contains a lot of sodium and fat, which can be hard on your puppy's tummy and long-term health.
If Max accidentally gets into some Spam, keep an eye out for these symptoms:
If Max shows any of these signs, try to keep him calm and offer him plenty of water to stay hydrated. If you start seeing severe symptoms like:
These could indicate a more serious issue, and you should get in touch with a vet right away.
No need to panic if it was just a small amount, but as a rule, it’s best to Stick to puppy-appropriate treats. If you're looking for something safe and healthy, let me know, and I can give you some suggestions!
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.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
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
