My 8 year old schnauzer ate about 2 handfuls of garlic and Parmesan pea chips. She’s 8 years old 42-44 pounds. How worried should I be?

Hi there. There wouldn't be enough garlic on a couple of handfuls of chips to cause any toxicity issues, and Parmesan and peas are not toxic to dogs - so she should be just fine :) I would monitor her for the next few hours to be safe, and make sure she has access to plenty of fresh water since the chips were probably salty. She may have some mild GI upset if she isn't used to eating human food, but otherwise I would not expect any significant problems.
