Only my 12 kg Beagle ate a few cooked celeriac cubes from the stew — how do I handle him versus my other two dogs who didn't touch it?

Short answer

Focus on the Beagle — celeriac is safe when peeled and cooked, so a few cubes are fine. Watch him for any gassiness or soft stool, which is the most common reaction. For the other two dogs, just ensure the stew pot is out of reach, as the onions and garlic often in stew are the real danger. There's no need to separate them or treat the others. Offer all three plain water, and call your vet only if the Beagle vomits or acts painful.

Celeriac — Food safety facts

Safe to share · Dogs · full breakdown on the linked food page

Peeled and cooked, in small pieces.

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

Celeriac is not toxic to dogs. 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.

Celeriac can stay on the rotation, but only as an extra mouthful: keep the rest of the day's food unchanged and watch the next walk and the stool that comes with it.
