Your dog managed to eat an entire Zesty Paw Calming Bite, which is more than their typical dosage. While these chews are generally safe, it's understandable to be concerned about potential side effects.
- Monitor your dog for unusual symptoms.
- Most dogs don't experience severe side effects from an extra dose.
- Keep a close eye on your dog for the next 24 hours.
Zesty Paw Calming Bites are designed with ingredients like chamomile and valerian root, which are generally safe but can sometimes cause mild digestive upset or increased drowsiness in larger doses. Watch for symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy. Usually, dogs tolerate an extra dose without major issues, but each pet is different.
