If your dog consumed a small amount of truffle fries, it's likely to be fine, but you should monitor for any unusual symptoms over the next 24 hours.
- Watch for vomiting or diarrhea
- Look out for any signs of lethargy or weakness
- Check for excessive thirst or urination
While truffle oil itself isn't toxic to dogs, the high-fat content of fries can lead to gastrointestinal upset or pancreatitis, especially in sensitive dogs. Additionally, sea salt can contribute to dehydration or salt toxicity if consumed in large amounts.
