If your dog ate a chicken nugget, here’s what you should do:
- Stay calm: Panicking won’t help your dog.
- Check for any immediate symptoms: Look for vomiting, diarrhea, or any other signs of distress.
- Call your veterinarian: They will be able to advise you on the best course of action and whether your dog needs to be seen.
- Tell your veterinarian the type of chicken nugget: Different types may contain different ingredients that could be harmful to your dog.
- Monitor your dog closely: Watch for any changes in behavior or appetite.
- Do not induce vomiting: Unless specifically instructed by your veterinarian, do not induce vomiting as it can make the situation worse.

- High fat content: This can lead to pancreatitis, a serious inflammation of the pancreas.
- Bones: If the nuggets contain bones, these can splinter and cause damage to your dog’s digestive system.
- Seasonings: Some chicken nuggets contain seasonings that can be toxic to dogs, such as onion or garlic powder.
- Artificial ingredients: Some chicken nuggets contain artificial ingredients that can upset your dog’s stomach or cause allergic reactions.
