The exact version matters
Seafood Risotto can be sold or prepared in more than one way. Keep the full ingredient panel or recipe because a flavored, filled, coated, concentrated, sugar-free, or bone-in version may need a different response.
A bite versus a package
A dropped bite and a full plate are different events. Small dogs, rich or fatty servings, and dishes containing a known toxin need a lower threshold for advice.
Use symptoms as a second check, not the first
Do not wait for symptoms when the label names a known toxin. Otherwise, watch for vomiting, diarrhea, thirst, abdominal pain, drooling, weakness, pale gums, gagging, or breathing trouble and call if the pattern is persistent or worsening.
