Ugh- he ate a fly...

He won't be sick will he? Is a fly toxic to dogs? Should I make him vomit it up using milk and peroxide?

Although- it was impressive watching him track it and catch it... lol

I'd be more worried about PETA's reaction to this than what the fly will do to your dog...which is likely nothing. No, do not force your dog to vomit, flies are not toxic, unless, you live on a dump for nuclear reactor waste. In which case eating the fly may be a good thing.

If flies were toxic my dog would be long gone. She has consumed so many flies I think she's 1/3 fly by now.
