Your dog has ingested more supplements than recommended, and it’s understandable to be worried about any potential side effects or overdose risks.

- Document any supplements and rough quantities involved if possible.

It's important to monitor your dog for signs such as vomiting, diarrhea, lack of appetite, or behavioral changes. Many supplements are designed to be safe even if taken in somewhat higher doses, but each case can be different. If you observe anything concerning or specific symptoms related to the supplements, contacting a vet will help ensure your dog remains healthy.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
