My puppy got into the adult dog food and now her stomach is full. It wasn’t a lot of food but I’m concerned. Is there anything that needs to be done?

Hi, just make sure she is drinking little and often and starve her over the next 6-12 hours according to how much food she has eaten. You can also take her for short walks on the lead to aid transit if she is up to it, but I would not leave to walk off off the lead. Hope this helps !
