My dog ate uncooked pasta and rice. He looks fine. Should I worry?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | West Highland White Terrier | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 1 month old | 21 lbs

Maximiliano ate about a cup of uncooked pasta and 1/2 a cup of uncooked rice. I don't know how long is it since he ate them. He looks fine. Should I be worried?

He should be fine but could develop an upset stomach from the new diet and from those items swelling in his stomach. Watch him for vomiting and diarrhea. If you notice anything I would have your vet take a look at him. I hope this helps!
