My dog just ate at least 10 Native Pet Calming Chews, should I be concerned about an overdose or any side effects?

This afternoon, before I realized what was happening, my dog managed to eat at least 10 Native Pet Calming Chews. I'm worried because that's a lot more than the recommended dose. Should I be concerned about an overdose or any potential side effects from eating so many at once? What should I look out for or do next?

Answer

Your dog has ingested a significantly larger dose of Native Pet Calming Chews than recommended. While these chews are generally safe in normal doses, consuming too many at once can cause side effects.

  • Overconsumption can lead to gastrointestinal upset.
  • Observe your dog for signs of lethargy or unusual behavior.
  • Contact a vet if you notice concerning symptoms.

It is understandable to be worried in this situation. Native Pet Calming Chews are meant to help with relaxation, but when taken in excess, they can lead to side effects such as vomiting, diarrhea, or drooling. In rare cases, more severe reactions may occur. Monitor your dog closely, and provide them with plenty of fresh water. If any severe symptoms develop or if you're feeling unsure, consulting a veterinarian is the best course of action. Stomach upset is common in these situations, and being proactive will help ensure your pet's safety.
