Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Keep a close eye on Junior for signs of dietary indiscretion such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and/or decreased appetite. He may not develop any symptoms at all but if he does, have him evaluated by your veterinarian so that he can be treated symptomatically if needed. Good luck and have a good night!
