My dog ate too many probiotics. Should I be worried about him?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Staffordshire Bull Terrier | Male | unneutered | 2 years and 5 months old | 70 lbs

I recently started giving my pup a probiotic. He's supposed to only get 3 but today he knocked the container out of my hand and ended up eating around 6. Is he going to be ok?

Hello. Apollo is a big boy, so he will be perfectly fine. His body will utilize what it needs & just excrete the extra. No need to worry & just continue the probiotic as scheduled. No need to hold off on the next dose. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
