- Monitor your dog for any signs of gastrointestinal upset.
- Falafels contain chickpeas and spices which could cause digestive issues.

While falafels are not toxic to dogs, the rapid consumption of a large quantity can potentially lead to stomach upset. Watch your dog for signs of vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy. Some spices used in falafel could also irritate your dog's stomach. If you notice any worrying symptoms or if your dog’s behavior changes, it’s best to consult a veterinarian.
