My dog just ate a non-toxic Rescue fly trap, should I be worried about any side effects?

I just discovered my dog chewing on a non-toxic Rescue fly trap that he somehow got ahold of during our time in the backyard. I'm relieved that it's labeled non-toxic, but I can't help but wonder if there might be any side effects from him eating it. Should I keep an eye out for any symptoms or is there anything I should do immediately to ensure he's okay?

Answer

Your dog has chewed on a non-toxic Rescue fly trap, which is generally safe. However, it's important to monitor for any signs of discomfort.

  • Observe for any unusual behavior in your dog.
  • Check for symptoms like vomiting or diarrhoea.
  • Contact your vet if you notice anything concerning.

Rescue fly traps are labeled non-toxic, which means they are designed to be safe for pets. However, the materials could still potentially cause an upset stomach or mild gastrointestinal irritation. Keep an eye on your dog for any unusual symptoms, such as vomiting or changes in appetite. Most cases resolve without issue, but it's always good to be cautious.
