My dog ate pumpkin pie. Is it safe for dogs? What should I do?

Question

Hello, my dog just ate a small slice of pumpkin pie from Costco while I stepped away from my desk. She is a 12 week old Wirehaired Pointing Griffon. Should I be concerned? Is there anything I should do? Pet's info: Dog | Wirehaired Pointing Griffon | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 28 days old | 47 lbs

I am sorry that Shelby has eaten your slice of pie, but I would not be overly concerned. I have looked up the ingredients in Costco’s pumpkin pie recipe and there does not seem to be any toxic ingredients. Nutmeg can be toxic for dogs, but it does not appear to be in their recipe. Because it is only one small slice Shelby should be fine, however, pie has a large amount of sugar and fat in it and this may cause some gastrointestinal upset. to help prevent this I would advise the following; Rest her stomach for 6 hours by withholding a meal Then provide a bland diet of boiled chicken breast skinless and steamed white rice. If you notice and vomiting, diarrhoea or discomfort she may have developed pancreatitis which is a common condition when dogs ingest a large amount of fatty food. This is unlikely however, if you suspect it please post a further question here on the forum or take her to see her veterinarian. Best of luck and thank you for suing Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
