My dog ate grilled cheese. Should I worry about gas or stomach upset?

Hello. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I honestly don't think I would be too worried about this. He should be able to digest this just fine. The most that will likely happen is he may have some diarrhea. Just keep an eye on him and if he starts vomiting or has severe diarrhea then you should take him to your vet for an exam. Hope this helps. Best wishes!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Not necessarily. While she could develop dietary indiscretion from eating something high in fat, pumping her stomach would probably be a bit much. I would watch her closely for signs of dietary indiscretion like vomiting, diarrhea and inappetence and if observed have her evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment at that point. There is a chance that she will be ok with this and not develop any signs though I would watch her closely in case she need therapy. Good luck and best wishes! I hope she does great!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I'm sorry to hear Gustav got ahold of something he shouldn't. The issue with garlic cheese in a wrapper is twofold; garlic can be toxic to dogs, and the wrapper can cause an intestinal obstruction. I would keep a close eye on Gustav (and his stool! for the next couple of days for any vomiting, diarrhea, inappetence, lethargy, or any other signs that he is feeling ill. If these are seen, I would recommend he be evaluated by his regular veterinarian right away. If there was a large amount of garlic in the cheese, I would also recommend touching base with animal poison control to see if he needs any treatment for a possible toxicity. Good luck!

He should not need a vet for this. Goat cheese is not toxic or harmful- it just may not agree with him. I’d only we worried if he starts vomiting, then you should take him to the vet. As a side note, please refrain from giving any human foods to your dog. Really, they don’t need it and it can cause problems as you can see. This is mild but other foods can cause serious issues. Stick to dog food and dog treats. Best wishes.

Oh Cooper, mischievous Golden Retriever puppy! Cheese is not toxic but in large quantities or in patients sensitive to dairy products it can cause gastrointestinal upset. I would monitor Cooper for the development of vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation over the next 24-48 hours. If these develop, I would have him examined by his veterinarian to assess if an anti-nausea medication, probiotic, or laxative is needed.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Roman. Eating cat poop is a very common behavior in dogs, and it can cause some stomach upset. I suspect that is what is happening with him. He should be back to normal by tomorrow, no need to worry. I hope this helps!

You may see some gastrointestinal upset (vomiting and diarrhea) in the next few hours. If necessary, you can fast him for 6-12 hours then feed a bland diet in small, frequent amounts until symptoms resolve. Monitor for lethargy, loss of appetite, abdominal pain or GI upset that does not resolve. See your veterinarian for an exam and treatment if any of these symptoms develop.
