My dog ate unwashed quinoa. Is a tiny bit harmful to my 45lb dog?

Question

My 45 lb dog got into some uncooked/unwashed quinoa. I'm not sure if she even ate any. If she did, it was probably less than a tablespoon. Should I be concerned? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 45 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Grace should be fine based on her weight and the small volume she could have eaten. There is a natural chemical found on quinoa that can be irritating to the intestines in both humans and dogs if unwashed. But it's only present in very small amounts. I hope this helps and I wish Grace the best
