My dog chewed a nectarine pit. When to call emergency vet? Symptoms?

Question

My 100lbs Alaskan Malamute chewed on a nectarine pit, it doesn't seem like he swallowed any of it but The outer part was pretty chewed up. His vet is closed on weekends, should I take him to the emergency vet if he shows any symptoms? Pet's info: Dog | Alaskan Malamute | Male | neutered | 1 year and 2 months old | 100 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. There is probably nothing to worry about for Huxley. The poisonous part of the pits are contained in the inner kernel so unless the pit is cracked open and the kernel missing, im not worried about that. That gnawing probably resulted in only tiny bits -if any- of the pit being swallowed. A dog this size is unlikely to have problems with that. Of course he may have a sensitive stomach or have gotten into something else in the trash that would cause a problem. If you see more than 3 episode of vomiting, severe lethargy, or loss of appetite lasting more than 8 hours, see an emergency vet to make sure he’s ok. Best of luck to you and Huxley!
