CarefulPlain meat or vegetable baby food can be fine; check for onion and garlic powder.
Vets sometimes use plain chicken baby food for sick pets. Many jars contain onion or garlic powder; read the label.
If they ate it
Offer water, skip the next meal, and call your vet if vomiting or diarrhea lasts more than a day or your pet seems unwell.
Careful for dogs means: fine in a small amount, prepared as described, and not for every pet; the details say when to skip it.
