Salt-dough and Play-Doh are largely interchangeable – both are usually very safe, but if eaten in large quantities, then the high proportion of salt can be dangerous for both children and dogs.
The way this damage is done is by releasing water from your dog’s blood cells to dilute the salts in the blood. It damages cells, including the extreme and irreversible destruction of brain cells, causing the neurological symptoms commonly encountered in poison ivy at home. Take a few deep breaths and follow the guidelines below if your dog has eaten play-doh. Keep an eye out for signs of salt poisoning in your dog. At its core, Play-Doh is a malleable substance, not too different from soft clay, that is made up of water, salt, and flour. This is then available in a wide variety of colors, sometimes alternative scents, and different volumes.
Yes, if you want a soft playdough and want it to last longer, you need to add a little bit of cream of tartar. We tested different amounts and found 2 teaspoons to be the perfect amount to make the playdough super soft. If you skip the cream of tartar your dough may turn out a bit more dry and crumbly. It also helps your playdough last longer. If you want a dough recipe without cream of tartar, see our cloud dough recipe. How do you get vibrant playdough colors? Play-doh is non-toxic to humans. However, it can be toxic to dogs. Whether or not play-doh is toxic for dogs depends on the specific ingredients in the play-doh, as well as the size of the dog and how much they consumed.
Dogs can stomach the majority of the materials in both store-bought and homemade play-doh. The digestion of these components may result in an upset stomach or other adverse effects in a dog. As before, most dogs that eat Play-Doh will show no ill effects at all and need no treatment or intervention. However, if a large amount of Play-Doh was consumed, or if the Play-Doh contains a potentially toxic ingredient, then urgent professional veterinary help is required. Most likely if your dog only ate a little play doh but is showing symptoms, the doctor will induce vomiting. While this sounds easy, you should not try this at home, leave it to the vet. Sometimes dog owners can cause more damage than good in medical scenarios like this one. Your veterinarian can assess if further treatment is required based on your dog’s specific weight and the sort of play-doh consumed.
Kidney failure can cause excessive drinking and urination, as well as vomiting and lethargy. In extreme cases, excessive urination may rapidly become zero urination as the kidneys completely fail and stop being able to produce urine at all. Again, seizures and death may follow rapidly. Vomiting, Diarrhea & Tummy Pain An upset tummy can occur with the consumption of Play-Doh. Dogs with excessive thirst, vomiting, diarrhea, tremor and coma need immediate veterinary attention.
