Help! My Lhasa Apso just chewed on a Composure Pro, is that dangerous for him?

Earlier today, I found my Lhasa Apso nibbling on a Composure Pro calming chew that was left out by accident. I’m concerned because I’m not sure if it’s safe for him to have consumed part of it. Could this cause any side effects or should I be doing something immediately to ensure he's okay?

Answer

It's understandable to be worried when your pet ingests something unexpected. Generally, Composure Pro calming chews are designed to be safe for most dogs, but monitoring is important.

  • Monitor for any unusual behavior or signs of distress.
  • Ensure your pet has access to plenty of fresh water.
  • Contact your vet if you notice symptoms like vomiting or diarrhea.

While Composure Pro calming chews are typically safe, consuming more than the recommended amount could potentially lead to mild side effects such as gastrointestinal upset. If your Lhasa Apso shows any signs of discomfort or unusual behavior, it is always safest to consult a veterinarian. Symptoms like vomiting or diarrhea should be addressed by your vet to prevent dehydration or other complications.
