Your dog has ingested a cup of baby formula powder, which may not be optimal for her health. Monitor her for any symptoms and consider getting advice from a veterinarian.

Baby formula is designed for human infants, and although it is generally safe, it might cause some digestive issues in dogs due to its lactose content and other ingredients that are not part of a dog's regular diet. Keep an eye on her for any signs of discomfort, like stomach upset or diarrhea. Always ensure she has plenty of water available, as this can help in case of mild digestive issues.
