What to do if eaten
If a dog ate a large amount, or the product contains garlic/onion, call a vet; seek prompt advice for vomiting, belly pain, tremors, or marked thirst.
How to serve safely
A single dropped slice is usually a monitoring situation for a healthy large dog, not a treat. Small dogs and dogs prone to pancreatitis are at greater risk from the fat and salt. Pizza pepperoni adds even more fatty and seasoned ingredients.
