Help! My dog chewed through and devoured an entire box of FortiFlora. Is this safe or should I be doing something now?

Earlier today, I discovered that my dog managed to get into a box of FortiFlora and devoured the entire contents. I wasn't paying close attention during my call, and he's been acting somewhat normal since, but I'm still worried about what this might do to him. Is consuming that much FortiFlora potentially harmful, and should I be taking any urgent action to ensure he's okay?

Answer

Your dog has ingested an entire box of FortiFlora, and while he's acting normal now, it's understandable to be concerned about any potential effects.

  • FortiFlora is generally safe, even in larger amounts, but watch for any signs of discomfort.
  • Keep an eye on your dog for symptoms like diarrhea or upset stomach.
  • Consult a vet if any unusual symptoms occur or if you're worried.

FortiFlora is a probiotic supplement typically safe for dogs, even if they consume a large amount. However, it can sometimes cause mild digestive upset, such as diarrhea or an upset stomach, in rare cases. Monitor your dog closely for the next 24-48 hours. If you notice any adverse symptoms or changes in behavior, it would be wise to get in touch with a veterinarian.
