Your dog eating 30 to 40 calming treats at once is concerning and could potentially be dangerous depending on the ingredients and dosage. It is crucial to contact your vet immediately for advice specific to your dog's situation.
- Monitor your dog for any unusual symptoms or behavior changes.
- Contact your vet for guidance based on your dog's health and the treat's ingredients.
- Prevent further access to treats or substances that could be harmful in large quantities.
Each calming treat likely contains ingredients meant to relax or sedate when given in moderate amounts. Consuming too many can lead to symptoms like excessive sedation, vomiting, diarrhea, or worse reactions depending on your dog's sensitivity. Swift action and a professional opinion are recommended.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
