Accidentally giving your dog an extra Duralactin joint chew in one day is usually not a cause for immediate concern. However, it is important to monitor your pet for any unusual symptoms.
- Keep an eye on your dog for any signs of discomfort or unusual behavior.
- Maintain regular dosing schedule moving forward.
- Contact a vet if any adverse symptoms appear.
Duralactin joint chews are designed to support your dog’s mobility, and an extra dose is not usually harmful. While an additional amount may not be ideal, most dogs tolerate it well. It's always wise to monitor your pet for any signs of digestive upset, such as diarrhea or vomiting, although these side effects are uncommon. If your dog becomes lethargic or shows any other unusual symptoms, please consult with a veterinarian.
