What is an Inumaki?
An Inumaki is a type of Japanese seaweed roll filled with rice, vegetables, and fish or other seafood.
What to do if your dog ate an Inumaki:
- Monitor your dog closely: Watch for any signs of illness, such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or abdominal pain.
- Call your veterinarian: Contact your veterinarian immediately for advice. They may recommend inducing vomiting or giving your dog activated charcoal to absorb any toxins.
- Avoid giving your dog any medication: Do not give your dog any pain relievers or other medications without consulting your veterinarian.
- Keep your dog hydrated: Offer your dog plenty of fresh water to help flush out any toxins.
Potential risks for dogs:
- Salt poisoning: Inumakis often contain a lot of salt, which can be dangerous for dogs, especially if they have heart or kidney problems.
- Food allergies: Some dogs may be allergic to certain ingredients in Inumakis, such as fish or seaweed.
- Bacterial contamination: Raw fish or seafood can harbor bacteria that can make dogs sick.
- Choking hazard: The seaweed wrapper and fish bones in Inumakis can pose a choking hazard for dogs.
Prevention:
- Keep Inumakis and other human foods out of your dog’s reach.
- Train your dog to only eat food from their bowl.
- Supervise your dog at all times when they are around food.
