My 65 lb dog just devoured two whole everything bagels. Is this gonna hurt him?

My 65 lb dog somehow managed to snatch and devour two whole everything bagels right off the kitchen counter this morning. I know they contain various seasonings, including onion and garlic flakes, and I’m worried if those might be harmful to him. Is this something that could potentially make him sick?

Answer

Your dog has ingested two everything bagels, which contain ingredients like onion and garlic that can be concerning. It’s important to monitor him for any signs of distress as these substances can be harmful in large quantities.

  • Onion and garlic in large amounts can be toxic to dogs.
  • Monitor your dog for symptoms such as vomiting or lethargy.
  • Contact a vet if you're concerned about your dog's health.

Everything bagels contain onion and garlic flakes which, in large amounts, can be toxic to dogs. Given your dog's size, the small amount in two bagels may not cause immediate harm, but it's important to keep an eye on him for the next 24–48 hours. Look for any unusual symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, or fatigue. If these symptoms occur or if you're worried, it would be a good idea to consult with a veterinarian.

Book a consultation with a licensed vet at Dial A Vet for just $49 AUD if you're unsure or symptoms are getting worse.
