Your dogs managed to eat sushi containing crab, which can potentially lead to mild to moderate digestive upset, but it largely depends on the seasoning and the quantity consumed.
- Crab meat is generally safe for dogs in small amounts.
- Watch for symptoms like vomiting or diarrhea from seasonings used.
- If symptoms persist or worsen, consult with a vet promptly.
While plain crab meat is not toxic to dogs, sushi often contains ingredients that could cause digestive problems, like soy sauce or wasabi. Keep an eye on your dogs for any signs of gastrointestinal distress. It might also be a good idea to prevent such incidents in the future by keeping human food out of reach from pets.
Book a consultation with a licensed vet at Dial A Vet for just $49 AUD if you're unsure or symptoms are getting worse.
