Hi there! It's great that you're keeping an eye on what Luna is curious about munching on. Bell peppers are actually safe for dogs to enjoy, so you can go ahead and share a small piece with her. They are nutritious and can be a fun, crunchy snack!
That said, here are a few friendly reminders:
- Start with small amounts to see how her tummy handles it. Too much might cause mild upset, like gas or diarrhea, but nothing serious.
- Make sure the pepper is plain—no seasonings, oils, or other add-ons.
- Wash the pepper thoroughly before giving it to Luna to remove any pesticides or dirt.
Keep an eye on her for any unusual symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy, just as a precaution. These are rare but good to note. If she just seems a little off, you can monitor her at home and offer some water. But if she starts showing signs of distress (like repeated vomiting or severe diarrhea), that's when you should call the vet.
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.
The "Ask a Vet" forum on Dial A Vet offers general information and helpful tips on pet health, but it's
not a substitute for professional veterinary care. The advice here doesn't create a veterinarian-client-patient relationship, and our vets can't diagnose or treat your pet remotely.
For emergencies or specific medical concerns, always contact your local veterinarian immediately. Your pet's health is unique, and decisions should only be made after consulting with a qualified professional. By using this forum, you acknowledge these limitations and agree to seek in-person veterinary advice for all your pet's health needs. View our
