If your dog ate a Katsudon, it is important to monitor them closely and contact your veterinarian as soon as possible. Katsudon is a Japanese dish that typically consists of breaded and fried pork cutlet (tonkatsu) served on top of a bowl of rice and topped with a savory sauce made from dashi, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. While the ingredients in Katsudon are not typically toxic to dogs, the high fat content in the pork cutlet and the sodium content in the sauce can be harmful to dogs if ingested in large amounts.
Symptoms of Katsudon poisoning in dogs can include:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal pain
- Lethargy
- Loss of appetite
- Dehydration
If your dog exhibits any of these symptoms, it is important to seek veterinary attention immediately. Treatment for Katsudon poisoning will depend on the severity of the symptoms and may include:
- Inducing vomiting to remove the Katsudon from the stomach
- Giving your dog activated charcoal to absorb the toxins in the Katsudon
- Providing intravenous fluids to prevent dehydration
- Administering medications to treat vomiting and diarrhea
Preventing Katsudon poisoning in dogs:
The best way to prevent Katsudon poisoning in dogs is to keep your dog away from the dish. If you are cooking Katsudon, be sure to keep your dog out of the kitchen and away from the food. If you are dining out at a Japanese restaurant, ask the server to put your dog’s food in a safe place away from the table.
