Your 70 lb dog has ingested a few tablespoons of tzatziki sauce, which contains garlic, a potentially harmful ingredient for dogs. While there are no immediate symptoms, it's important to monitor your dog closely.
- Garlic can be toxic to dogs, depending on the amount ingested.
- Watch for symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy.
- Consult a vet if your dog shows any concerning signs.
Tzatziki sauce can contain garlic, which in large quantities can lead to gastrointestinal upset or even more severe symptoms in dogs. Since your dog is not currently showing symptoms, this is a positive sign but stay vigilant over the next 24-48 hours. If any unusual behavior occurs, it’s best to get in touch with your vet.
Book a consultation with a licensed vet at Dial A Vet for just $49 AUD if you're unsure or symptoms are getting worse.
