Can Dogs Eat June Bugs
June bugs are beetles commonly found in late spring and summer. Dogs may eat them while playing outside. The bug itself is not highly toxic, but the hard exoskeleton can cause stomach upset or mild blockage.
Symptoms to Watch For
Watch for vomiting, drooling, loss of appetite, or lethargy after your dog ate a june bug. Some dogs may cough or gag if the bug irritates the throat. If symptoms persist, contact your veterinarian.
When to Call the Vet
Call your vet if your dog shows repeated vomiting, diarrhea, or signs of pain. For persistent issues, visit the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at ASPCA Animal Poison Control. They can help determine if further care is needed.
