My dog ate beef sticks. Should I give him pumpkin to calm his stomach?

Question

My dog got into 2-3 plain beef sticks. Should I give him canned pumpkin or anything special to calm his stomach? He hasn’t had any diarrhea, vomiting, etc. It just happened within the last hour. Pet's info: Dog | Boxer | Male | neutered | 8 months and 2 days old | 60 lbs

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Bentley. My concern about them is the amount of salt, garlic, and onion powder in them, all of which are toxic to dogs if enough if present. Given that he ate it within the last hour, the best thing to do is take him into the vet now to induce vomiting. This will prevent any problems from happening. Otherwise, you can monitor him and give him a little bit of canned pumpkin (one tablespoon) to see if that helps calm his stomach. If you see any vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or anorexia, have him seen by a vet immediately. I hope this helps!
