When Elmer the Beagle got his paws on some raw chocolate chip dough, things quickly took a turn! 🐶🍪

His pet parents brought him to UrgentVet Carytown, where the team acted quickly to help. With medication to induce vomiting, they discovered Elmer had eaten a whopping 2.4 pounds of dough! 🍞

Raw bread dough can be dangerous for pets because the yeast continues to ferment in their stomach, producing alcohol that can lead to toxicity. Add chocolate to the mix, and it's important to seek veterinary care right away.

Thankfully, Elmer got the care he needed!

When your pet runs into a bit of "Ruff Timing", UrgentVet is here to help. 🐾

Charli presented for dietary indiscretion after getting into something they shouldn’t have. She also happened to have some amazing style! 👀

Dogs are notorious for exploring the world with their mouths, and sometimes their curiosity gets the best of them! Depending on what was ingested, dietary indiscretion can lead to anything from mild gastrointestinal upset to more serious complications.

Our team performed a thorough evaluation and developed a plan tailored to the patient’s clinical signs and history. ❤️
