It's possible that your dog ate the sandwich you left on the coffee table. While turkey and cheese are not inherently toxic to dogs, there are a few things to watch for.
- Monitor your dog for any signs of upset stomach, such as vomiting or diarrhea.
- Ensure there's no access to any wrapping or packaging that might have been part of the sandwich.
- Keep an eye on your dog for any unusual behavior or signs of discomfort.
Most of the time, consuming a small amount of turkey and cheese won't harm your dog. However, it's important to consider any potential allergens or additives in the sandwich, such as onions or garlic, which can be harmful. If you notice any vomiting, lethargy, or changes in behavior, it may be wise to consult a veterinarian.
