My dog ate butter and cheese. Is a vet visit needed for fatty foods?

Question

My dog weighs 33lbs and is 4 years old. She just ate 125ml of butter and 75g of Swiss Cheese - Do we need to take her to a vet to get her stomach pumped? Pet's info: Dog | Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever | Female | spayed | 33 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Not necessarily. While she could develop dietary indiscretion from eating something high in fat, pumping her stomach would probably be a bit much. I would watch her closely for signs of dietary indiscretion like vomiting, diarrhea and inappetence and if observed have her evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment at that point. There is a chance that she will be ok with this and not develop any signs though I would watch her closely in case she need therapy. Good luck and best wishes! I hope she does great!
