Your dog's accidental exposure to Roundup may not be immediately dangerous, but it's important to monitor for symptoms of poisoning and reach out to a vet if concerned.
- Roundup residues can remain active for some time on various surfaces.
- Monitor your dog for symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy.
- Contact a vet if you notice any worrying symptoms or if you're unsure.
Roundup is an herbicide, and while small ingestions may not always be harmful, it's best to keep pets away from treated areas for safety. Since it's been a week, the risk has likely reduced, but vigilance is key. Keep an eye on your dog for any signs of illness and contact a vet if anything seems amiss.
