My dog sniffed Sevin dust. What poisoning signs should I watch for?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Border Collie | Male | neutered

We put 5% Sevin dust on our rose bushes. Our dog sniffed a small amount (A few seconds) before coming back to us. Did not ingest any (no licking) and was given a bath right away for any residue on paws. Do we need to be on the look out for anything? Acting, eating, playing normally.

He will likely be fine as the exposure was minimal and you decontaminate him soon after. Monitor for excessive drooling, vomiting or muscle weakness. These are symptoms that should be addressed by your veterinarian or at the nearest veterinary ER. As long as he continues to behave normally though, he should be fine.
