It's understandable to worry when your dog eats more than he should, especially vitamins. While he seems fine now, there's a risk of toxicity from consuming too many supplements, depending on their contents.
- Monitor your dog closely for any changes in behavior or health.
- Be aware of potential symptoms of vitamin overdose.
- Call a vet if you notice anything unusual or concerning.
If your dog consumed a large quantity of vitamin chews, there is a chance of vitamin toxicity, particularly if they contain fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) or minerals like iron. Watch for symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or any other unusual behavior. It's good that your dog appears normal at the moment, but keep a close eye on him for any changes.
