Hi there! Don’t worry, you’re not alone in this. Dogs and cheese—that’s a very common duo! Brie cheese isn’t toxic to dogs, so Bella should be okay. However, since brie is a rich, fatty cheese, it may upset her stomach a little. Here are some things to watch for:
- Upset stomach: Look for signs like vomiting or diarrhea, which can happen if she has a sensitive stomach or eats too much fat.
- Pancreatitis: This is more serious but rare from a small amount. It would involve symptoms like severe vomiting, lethargy, and abdominal pain.
As for what’s an emergency, here’s a quick rundown:
- If Bella just ate a small piece and is acting normal, just keep an eye on her. She’ll likely be just fine.
- If she seems uncomfortable, try to offer her some water and watch her closely for the next few hours.
- If she shows any severe symptoms like repeated vomiting or extreme lethargy, that’s when you'll want to reach out to a vet.
Overall, a one-time cheese snack shouldn’t cause too much trouble. But as with any dietary indiscretion, keeping close tabs on her behavior is key.
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.
