When you call the vet they will ask you what kind of dog you have and how much the dog weighs as well as how much they ate. If you do not know the exact amount that they ended up consuming, they will more than likely ask you to take them to the vet as soon as you can for testing. What Human Foods Dogs Can't Eat?
