Hi my 5 month old puppy ate 2 slices of ham and cheese pizza. He hasn’t shown any signs he is in pain and hasn’t vomited yet. I’m not sure if I should go to the vet or just monitor him for the next few hours.

Hello, I believe monitoring Murphy is fine for the time being. He may experience some vomiting or diarrhea. If this lasts more than two days, or is accompanied by a change in behavior or lack in appetite, take him to his veterinarian for an exam. I hope this is helpful.
