My dog ate raw pumpkin seeds — how soon would symptoms show if he reacts?

Short answer

Plain raw pumpkin seeds rarely cause issues in dogs. If your dog reacts at all, mild stomach upset like soft stools might appear within 6-12 hours. Serious poisoning isn't expected, but watch for vomiting or loss of appetite. Offer water and skip the next meal if his belly seems off. Call your usual vet if symptoms last more than a day.
