Apologies to admin if this is the wrong thread.

Apparently my dog decided to misbehave today and bust open the Amazon box that contained my reef roids in it. I came home to find the whole container cleaned out.

Do I need to start calling up my vet? The container says the only ingredients are plankton - wanted to know what this group's thoughts were.

It's been a rough week.

Dog will probably have excellent polyp extension for a while and probably a growth spurt ;Joyful

In all honesty I see no reason why this would be a medical problem for the dog. I hear you though my dog gets into anything that smells nice. One day I came home to a couple deoderant packages all chewed up ;Bored

Dog ate reef roads? He should swim super fast for a week. All joking aside just observe him and he should be fine. He may get an upset tummy from something new in his diet.

You guys are great. Made me laugh.
I am no vet, or medical professional, but I would think he should be ok. There should not be anything toxic in reef roids.

I would have preferred reef roids. My GSD decided to chew on my Neptune Controller. The original ones with the X10 relays in 2001 :) My fault, I left it on the floor for some stupid reason. She came along and said hey, new chew toy...

Still worked. Week or so later was on the phone with Neptune support when they asked for a picture of it. I don't remember why. Anyway the lad on the phone next time we spoke laughed and said his great dane did the same thing...go figure.

If your dog is an outdoor dog, im sure it has ate a lot of stuff and has a good gut bacteria population. Dont know if it will handle this without a little discomfort. If it weights 4 lbs then that was a lot. If its a 50 pounder then it was just an appetizer.

16 years ago, my wife went with her friends to Las Vegas and left me in charge of my new tank and our two dogs. When she texted to see how it was going, I responded that her dog is blue, but otherwise OK. Mason Montgomery the boxer had not a spot of ich.

Won’t do a thing unless he had a bottle of polyp booster beforehand. :)
