My dog ate cloves. Are cloves toxic for dogs? What should I do?

This product is safe and effective. Cinnamon and clove, when used appropriately, are safe in dogs. The essential oils of cinnamon and clove by themselves, however, can be very irritating to dogs when not used, diluted or prepared properly. The water additive is a great addition to help enhance Jack’s oral health. Thanks for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

It's not likely that Oliver got a big enough dose to cause any signs of toxicity. Nutmeg toxicity is quite rare and is actually a rather mild toxicant. It has been reported to cause drooling, vomiting and behavior change (causes hallucinations in people) in dogs receiving two tablespoons or more. If Oliver has excessive vomiting and/or a drastic change in behavior, then it would be best to take him to the vet for treatment and monitoring. Otherwise, he should be fine to observe at home for the next 24 hours. If he is fine after 24 hours, then you'll know that he did not receive a toxic dose and should not have any problems related to the nutmeg. I hope that helps and all is well with Oliver.

You might see a bit of gastroenteritis (vomiting, nausea, and/or diarrhea) but there are no harmful substances in Mike & Ikes, so I suspect Oso will be fine. If you do see any of these symptoms, and if Oso seems especially lethargic, seek veterinary care.

Mistletoe is toxic to dogs (and cats as well) and can cause some potentially serious effects. Like poinsettias, mistletoe can cause irritation to the gastrointestinal tract, which can result in vomiting, diarrhea, drooling and abdominal pain. Less common side effects can cause a drop in blood pressure, seizures, ataxia (abnormal, wobbly gait) or even death. Since your dog ingested mistletoe, you should contact both your veterinarian and an animal poison control center, such as the [Pet Poison Helpline](https://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/).

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Colgate can contain a product called xylitol. This causes the blood sugar to drop drastically. If your dog is weak and not moving, please get honey or corn syrup and rub it on her gums right away. You then need to get her into a vet clinic as soon as possible. Large volumes of toothpaste (xylitol) can also cause liver damage. Best of luck with Lili.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This particular toothpaste in general does not contain xylitol which is the concerning ingredient sometimes found in some toothpastes. I recommend you double check that this is not an ingredient of the specific crest toothpaste variant you may have. If xylitol is not part of it then she is likely going to be just fine though some dogs may get some stomach upset. If it does in fact have xylitol then she would have to be evaluated right away as that would be a medical emergency as that can cause liver toxicity and seizures. Good luck and have a good night!

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is pretty unlikely that Marley was able to puncture the can with her teeth. I would be concerned that she jumped because she fractured a tooth or injured herself on the can. She may have just been startled. A small amount of air freshener is likely to be bitter and may cause besides and vomiting. I recommend keeping a close eye on Marley. She should be seen by a vet if you think she is painful in the mouth (hypersalivating, guarding, etc) or is vomiting or lethargic. I hope this helps and that all is well with Marley!
