Your dog has licked a tomcat glue trap that is labeled as pesticide-free. While it is generally considered safe, monitoring your dog for any unusual symptoms is a good practice.
- Most glue traps are non-toxic.
- Monitor for any adverse reactions.
- Consult a vet if concerns arise.
While glue traps labeled pesticide-free are designed to be non-toxic, ingesting even a small amount might sometimes cause mild stomach upset in dogs. It's wise to observe your dog for any signs of gastrointestinal discomfort, such as vomiting or diarrhea, as well as any change in behavior. Generally, if your dog remains active and eats normally, they're likely okay. However, if you notice persistent symptoms or anything concerning, a veterinarian visit is advisable.
