Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. To be absolutely safe, I’d call the Pet Poison Hotline. They have specially trained veterinarian who can tell you more about what to expect. They will also consult with your veterinarian if needed about treatments. Pet Poison Hotline +1-855-764-7661 There is a $59 fee but it is very worth it in almost all cases. As far as I can tell by looking at the ingredient list, the most likely adverse reaction is likely to be vomiting and diarrhea. If this becomes excessive or you see any other concerning signs (seizures, weakness, tremors, lethargy, mental dullness, other), it’s time to see the emergency vet right away. Best of luck to you and Russo!

    Hi and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I looked up the ingredients on this product and Russo should be just fine. If he has any vomiting, diarrhea or lethargy, I would recommend taking him to an emergency clinic to be evaluated. Otherwise, I would continue to monitor him.
