My dog ate Top Ramen. Is it safe? Will it cause an upset stomach?

Brave girl! She may develop some vomiting and or diarrhea, as this food may cause some irritation to her GI tract. Offer her a bland diet such as boiled chicken and white rice for the next couple of days. If she does develop vomiting and/or diarrhea that lasts longer than 1 day, or if she becomes very lethargic or seems to be in pain, please take her in to your vet. thanks for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

Noodles, meat, cheese, and tomato sauce are not toxic to dogs, so I would not expect this to cause any serious problems :) She may have a mild upset stomach for the next day or so if she isn't used to human food like this, but otherwise she should be just fine.

The noodles will be fine, but if the spaghetti sauce contained onions and garlic, I would monitor Chi-Chi for now. Garlic and onions are toxic to dogs, but if it's a small amount, she should be ok. Signs to look out for include increased respiratory rate, vomiting, reduced appetite, pale mucous membranes, and increased heart rate. If you see any of those signs, please take Chi-Chi into your vet right away.

Pasta is not toxic to dogs, but it is also not a particularly nutritionally dense food and would be an empty source of calories like a treat. If Sharon has any food intolerance or a sensitive stomach I would not recommend it.

Oh that was naughty of Snuggles to eat the spaghetti! Luckily, spaghetti itself isn't very fatty, but I would be concerned about the sauce used on it. Butter based sauces or sauces that contain garlic and onion can cause problems in her. Both onion and garlic are toxic to dogs, and if the spaghetti had garlic or onion in it, I would have her seen by a vet immediately for decontamination procedures to prevent toxicity from occurring. If it was just plain spaghetti, hopefully she should be ok.

There’s nothing dangerous/toxic in spam, though it is salty so offer free choice water. Monitor Delphi for GI upset (vomiting or diarrhea) that can occur any time a pet eats human food they’re not used to, and contact your vet if that occurs. Most likely she’ll be just fine!

I do not think this will be a problem. Dogs have many mucus glands in their throat and esophagus, so that the pasta will be well lubricated when it gets into the stomach and there will be no harm. Watch for glittery poop ;-) . You should give her water as well as food. She will be fine.
