Are cooked Totino's pizza rolls harmful if my 23-pound dog just inhaled a couple off the plate?

Earlier today, my dog managed to snatch a couple of cooked Totino's pizza rolls right off the plate when I turned my back for a second. He’s a curious 23-pound pup who tends to eat fast, so I’m worried about what he's consumed. Are there any ingredients in those pizza rolls that could potentially harm him, and should I be on the lookout for any signs of distress?

Answer

It's understandable to be concerned when your dog eats something he shouldn't. Cooked Totino's pizza rolls aren't the ideal snack for dogs, but a small amount is unlikely to cause serious harm.

  • Monitor your dog for any signs of distress, such as vomiting or diarrhea.
  • Most dogs can handle small amounts of human food without significant issues.
  • In the future, try to keep these tempting foods out of reach.

Generally, Totino's pizza rolls contain ingredients like cheese, sauce, and spices that are not toxic to dogs in small quantities. However, the high-fat content and any potential seasoning could upset his stomach. Watch for symptoms like vomiting or diarrhea, which should be mild if they appear at all. If you notice severe symptoms or anything concerning, seeking veterinary advice is recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What ingredients in pizza rolls are harmful to dogs?

    Pizza rolls often contain fatty ingredients and spices, which can irritate a dog's stomach in larger quantities. Ingredients like garlic or onion powder, if present, can be toxic to dogs but are usually in minimal amounts in such products.

  • What symptoms should I look for after he ate the pizza rolls?

    Watch for any signs of gastrointestinal distress such as vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy. If these symptoms persist or worsen, contact a veterinarian.

  • How can I prevent my dog from eating human food in the future?

    Ensure that food items are kept out of reach. You might also invest in a pet-proof trash can and train your dog with commands to leave items they shouldn't have alone.

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