Hi I am dog sitting a 2.5 year old lab. He got in the cabinet and ate about 50-55 of the nature vet hemp quiet moment calming aid treats. I am really concerned and don’t know what to do especially since I’m just watching him and he isn’t my dog. He’s about 50-60 pounds again not sure! But is there any side effects or anything I should look for? Side effects? Thanks again for the help.

I think the worst that will happen is some mild GI upset like vomiting and/or diarrhea - both of which should be self-limiting (meaning they should go away on their own within 48 hours). If they don't, then he needs to see a vet. He may be more tired than normal but not comatose so if he is sleeping and you can't get a reaction out of him then you need to get him to a vet ASAP. I recommend no food for 8-12 hours but be sure he has plenty of water available. These treats don't really contain anything toxic at large doses but remember, every dog reacts differently to medications/supplements just like people so if, at any time, you are worried about him you need to have him examined by a vet.
