Is it dangerous if my dog ate too many VetIQ calming treats?

This evening, I accidentally left the container of VetIQ calming treats on the coffee table, and before I knew it, my dog had gobbled up a lot more than the recommended amount. I know these treats are supposed to be safe in small doses, but I’m worried if eating too many could be harmful. Should I be monitoring her for any specific symptoms, or is there something I should do immediately?

Answer

If your dog has consumed more than the recommended amount of VetIQ calming treats, it’s important to monitor her for any adverse reactions and consider consulting a veterinarian, especially if unusual symptoms appear.

  • Diarrhea or vomiting
  • Lethargy or hyperactivity
  • Loss of coordination
  • Tremors or shaking
  • Excessive drooling

Overconsumption of calming treats may lead to gastrointestinal upset or more serious reactions depending on the ingredients and your dog’s sensitivity. It’s always best to err on the side of caution and observe your dog closely for any unusual behaviors.

For peace of mind and tailored advice, consider booking a consultation with a veterinarian at Dial A Vet.
