If a dog eats food containing toxins, it can cause food poisoning and will die if not treated in time. Therefore, if your dog develops vomiting, diarrhea, general weakness and other symptoms shortly after feeding, it may be suspected of food poisoning, and you should seek veterinary treatment quickly.
