Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Pizza in and of it's self is not toxic. If there was an excessive amount of onions then maybe. Otherwise one of 2 things may happen: 1) Nothing! 2) Molly develops vomiting and/or diarrhea from an upset stomach or pancreas. It isn't wrong to feed her a bland diet for a few days. Boil chicken breast or hamburger and mix with rice. Feed 1 cup per 20 lbs per day for 3-5 days. I hope this helps and I wish Molly the best!

    Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. That's quite a few slices of pizza! Luckily this should not cause any life threatening problems. She may develop vomiting and diarrhea. I would initiate a bland diet of chicken and rice for the next several days. If she becomes lethargic, persistently vomits, etc. Then I would bring her in to the veterinarian to be seen and to get the most appropriate treatment / medication. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
