If you own a dog, please make sure you keep certain foods away from your dog at all times. This includes a variety of foods that your vet can fill you in on (I.e. grapes, chocolate, etc.). One of the main foods to keep away is dough or raw bread dough. Raw dough typically contains yeast, which can be hazardous to dogs. A dog’s stomach provides an ideal environment for swallowed yeast or dough to expand and rise. This will cause your dog’s stomach to expand which can decrease blood flow to your dog’s stomach and affect his breathing. Call your vet immediately if your dog ingests raw dough. You may also need to call pet poison control. The poison control team can help your vet determine the type of treatment and amount of treatment needed to combat the dough your dog has ingested. Consult with your vet Bend, OR for treatment procedures as well. Schedule an appointment today!
