CarefulA plain pitted olive is fine; most are salty and seasoned.
Pits are a choking and tooth hazard. Stuffed, marinated or garlic olives are not for pets.
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.
