My dog just ate an entire jar of NaturVet Quiet Moments calming chews, should I be worried about a vet visit?

Earlier this afternoon, I discovered that my dog managed to get into the cabinet and eat an entire jar of NaturVet Quiet Moments calming chews. I'm really anxious because I know these are supposed to be given in moderation, and I’m not sure how an overdose might affect him. Should I take him to the vet right away, or is it okay to monitor him at home for now?

Answer

Your dog has ingested an entire jar of NaturVet Quiet Moments calming chews, which should be administered in moderation. Overconsumption can potentially lead to an adverse reaction.

  • Observe your dog closely for any unusual symptoms.
  • Contact your veterinarian as soon as possible for guidance.
  • Act quickly if you notice severe symptoms like vomiting or difficulty breathing.

While calming chews are designed to be safe, an excessive intake could lead to gastrointestinal upset or other symptoms. Some dogs may be more sensitive than others, so it's important to monitor for signs such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or unusual behavior. Your veterinarian can offer specific advice based on the amount consumed and your dog's health history.

If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
