My dog ate seasoned rice with garlic. Should I worry about poisoning?

Question

My dog tore apart packet a of seasoned rice while I was gone. It contained garlic powder but It’s the last ingredient on the list. It looked like he didn’t eat anything but I’m not sure, should I take him to a vet immediately or watch for any signs of garlic poisoning?

If it was only seasoned with garlic powder it likely won't cause any problems, however the other seasoning ingredients could cause some minor digestive upset such as vomiting or diarrhea. Uncooked rice itself may also cause bloating if a lot was eaten. You can feed a bland diet of boiled rice and chicken if your dog only ate a little and has minor GI upset, however if you see persistent vomiting or diarrhea, blood in the vomit or diarrhea, a bloated or painful abdomen, or your pup seems in severe distress, seeking veterinary care ASAP is best.
