Question

I've been buying my dogs biscuits from a guy at our local farmers market. Last night I gave Angel (my dog) one and looked closely because I saw something moving in the biscuits, and when I did I saw that there were bugs in the biscuits! I'm not sure about what kind of bugs they were but they were small and looked kind of like beetles. Is this something I should be worried about? Should I take her to the Vet?

Answer

I don't think you will need to take your girl to the vet regarding this problem, but I would dispose of any uneaten biscuits and let the gentleman know of what you found. This way he can seal the packaging better or make any alterations needed. If flour is used in the making of the buscuits, this is where the bettles could have come from. Just keep an eye on your girl and if she shows any symptoms like vomiting or diarrhea, then I would have her vet checked. Good luck :)
