What to do if your dog eats pot
Dogs are naturally curious animals, notorious for exploring the world by way of their mouths. So if you’re a cannabis user, it’s possible – even likely – that one day your dog will sample your stash.
Take it from Dr. Kate Smith, medical director for Animal Urgent Care in Arvada, which gets calls about pets that have consumed pot almost every time she’s in the office.
Sometimes, the owners aren’t aware that’s what happened. They call and report the dog seems wobbly or out of it, like a human that’s had one too many drinks. Other times, there’s evidence like an empty edibles container or a ripped baggie.
