My dog ate bread. Is it safe, and what signs should I watch for?

A small amount of plain bread should not be harmful. The risk comes if raw dough or bread containing raisins, garlic or onions is eaten. Monitor for lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite or abdominal pain. These are symptoms that should be addressed by your veterinarian.

Diarrhea can be common in puppies, especially if they may have eaten something that they weren't used to, such as bread. However, there are a few other things that can cause diarrhea in puppies, including intestinal parasites, bacterial or viral (such as parvo virus) infection, dietary indiscretion (eating something they shouldn't), or intestinal blockage. If Lovey's stools haven't firmed up in a day or two, or if she starts vomiting or has a decrease in appetite, she should see a vet as soon as possible to get appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

You should definitley monitor him for any abnormal signs like bloating, vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or abdominal discomfort. They might pass through with no problem but he could get some gastritis/enteritis from eating so many at once. Have him examined by a vet if you notice anything abnormal.

If lethargy is not present, you could try, as a first approach to start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice more vomiting, lethargy or inappetence.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I think Bubba will be fine as long as the rolls were cooked and it wasn't raw bread dough. I would skip dinner tonight and limit water to sips. Feed normally tomorrow. If he ate raw bread dough he would need to go to the emergency room. Good luck!

Yes you can and that generally speaking won't cause any problem. Occasionally some allergies are seen. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

I recommend monitoring her for the next 24 hours. If she develops diarrhea, has persistent vomiting, stops eating or drinking, becomes lethargic, or acts like she is in pain (abdominal pain), then she should be seen by a veterinarian ASAP.
