Question
Our schnauzer just ate a bananna peel from the trash.  Will this make her sick?


Answer
Hello Doug -

This should not hurt your pet. If anything she may have a few loose bowel movements or may vomit. This is nothing to be alarmed about it's a foreign substance her body is not use to.

Bananas have high levels of potassium and should not interfere with her current health.

If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to contact me.

Thank you and best wishes to you and your pet.
