My dog just gobbled up a nearly raw Pillsbury biscuit, should I worry about that?

My dog managed to snatch a nearly raw Pillsbury biscuit this afternoon while I was preparing breakfast. I'm a bit worried because I know raw dough can sometimes expand in their stomachs, but I’m not sure how serious this could be. Should I keep an eye out for any specific symptoms, or is it nothing to be overly concerned about?

Answer

Your dog ate a nearly raw Pillsbury biscuit, which can be concerning because raw dough can expand and cause discomfort in their stomach. Monitoring for any symptoms is wise to prevent any potential health issues.

  • Monitor your dog for signs of discomfort or bloating
  • Keep an eye out for vomiting or diarrhea
