My 20 lb dog just ate less than an ounce of wasabi almonds. He has IBD and had acute pancreatitis 5 months ago. Should I contact emergency vet?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! While almonds are great snacks for humans, they are very rich for dogs and may result in gastrointestinal upset. Wasabi can also upset their belly. I am concerned that if he suffers from a chronic history of pancreatitis, he may develop this from eating fatty items like almonds. I recommend that you monitor Quigley closely for any evidence of gastrointestinal upset such as vomiting, diarrhea and/or inappetence. if any of these signs are observed, have him evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Otherwise, he may be ok. Good luck and have a good night!

While not toxic, almonds are not easily digested and can give your dog an upset stomach and create gastric intestinal distress. I don't think she needs to see a vet but expect that she may have some mild vomiting and/or diarrhea. If she does and the symptoms last longer than 24 hours then she will need to see a vet.
