Your dog has ingested some Azo probiotic supplements. While probiotics are generally not toxic, monitoring your pet for any unusual symptoms is important.
- Probiotics are generally safe for dogs.
- Watch for any changes in behavior or digestion.
- Contact your vet if you notice any concerning symptoms.
While probiotics like those found in Azo supplements are typically safe for dogs, the ingestion of human products in large quantities can sometimes cause digestive upset, such as diarrhea or vomiting. I recommend keeping a close eye on your dog for at least 24-48 hours to ensure they are feeling well. If you observe any signs of gastrointestinal distress or other concerning changes, it would be best to consult with a veterinarian.
Book a consultation with a licensed vet at Dial A Vet for just $49 AUD if you're unsure or symptoms are getting worse.
