My 20 kg German Shepherd ate five whole raw carrot sticks off the kitchen floor after our evening

Short answer

Five raw carrot sticks is a lot for one sitting, but not likely dangerous for a 20 kg dog. Carrots are safe and crunchy — they make excellent low-calorie treats. The main concern with five at once is potential gastrointestinal upset or, rarely, a blockage if she swallows large pieces without chewing. Watch her for vomiting, decreased appetite, or constipation over the next 24 hours. Offer plenty of water and walk her gently. If she seems uncomfortable or stops eating, call your vet. In the future, break carrots into smaller pieces for easier chewing.

A safe, healthy treat — washed and whole. Good source of antioxidants.

Dogs and cats carry the same rating (Safe to share), so the notes below hold for either pet.

Blueberry is not toxic to cats. The real limit is calories, fat and salt, so treat it as a small extra alongside the normal ration rather than a meal in itself.

There is no poisoning risk here, and the usual problem is simply eating too much at once: a heavy fat or salt load can bring on loose stools or a single vomit. Offer water, keep an eye on the pet for 24 hours, and do not induce vomiting.

Blueberry can stay on the rotation, but only as an extra mouthful: keep the rest of the day's food unchanged and watch the litter box and how quickly they finish the next meal.
