Uni, or sea urchin, is not inherently toxic to dogs. However, it can sometimes cause digestive upset due to its rich, unfamiliar nature. Observe your dog for any unusual symptoms and consult your vet if concerned.
- Watch for signs of vomiting or diarrhea.
- Monitor your dog’s behavior for lethargy or discomfort.
- Ensure your pet has access to fresh water.
- Contact your veterinarian if symptoms persist or worsen.
While many dogs can eat seafood without issues, some might have sensitivities. Sea urchin isn't commonly part of a dog's diet, so it's important to be cautious and watch for any adverse reactions.
