|---|---|---|
| 10 lb (4.5 kg) | 35 kcal | 4 × cooked Brussels sprout |

Eating more than the recommended amount usually causes nothing worse than an upset stomach: soft stool, gas or vomiting. Skip treats for the rest of the day, keep fresh water available and call your vet if vomiting or diarrhea lasts more than 24 hours or your dog seems unwell.
