Hi there! It's great that you're checking in before giving chorizo to your pup. Chorizo contains a lot of spices and fat, which can be hard on a dog's stomach. While it might be tempting to share, it’s usually better to keep those tasty links to yourself.
If your dog gets a little taste, watch for these signs over the next few hours:
These symptoms can often be managed at home by keeping your dog hydrated with fresh water. However, if the symptoms are severe, like persistent vomiting or diarrhea, or if your pup seems very uncomfortable, you should contact your vet.
Generally, it's best to avoid giving dogs anything beyond their regular dog food without checking in with a vet, especially foods high in fat or heavily spiced like chorizo.
Definitely call your vet if you notice any signs of distress like difficulty breathing, swelling around the face or mouth, or if your pet seems to be in pain. Better safe than sorry, right?
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.

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
