My dog ate Halls Soothers and wrappers. Should I worry about toxicity?

I am sorry to hear about your concern for Missy! With these ingredients we would not expect any toxic effects but we could have some mild gastrointestinal upset if she has a sensitive stomach. The ingredients that sometimes are present in cough drops and can cause more serious side effects include benzocaine and xylitol, but from your label you attached these cough drops don't appear to contain these ingredients. I would watch for vomiting and if it occurs, contact your veterinarian.

I'm sorry that Yeezy ate cough drops! In looking up the ingredients for this product, I see it contains menthol 9.1 mg eucalyptus oil, beta carotene, flavors, glucose syrup, honey, soy lecithin, sucralose, sucrose, and water. These ingredients may cause GI upset, but the biggest concern I had about the cough drops were if they had xylitol in them. That's because xylitol is extremely toxic to dogs, and if the cough drops had them, Yeezy would need to see an emergency vet right away. Because these do not have them, he should be ok, but you may see some stomach upset in the form of vomiting and diarrhea. Should you see that, withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. Yeezy should be just fine, I hope this helps :-)

Hi, strepsils din’t contain any toxic ingredients such as xylitol . They could cause an upset tummy but nothing more serious. If you want to have more detailed information I would recommend to call the pet poison helpline at (855) 764-7661 . Hope this helps !

Reggie should be ok. I've looked over the ingredients list myself, and I also cannot find xylitol on the ingredients list. More than likely, you will see some stomach upset in Reggie, such as vomiting or diarrhea. If you do see that, withhold food and feed a bland diet. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Sugar Bear. I have looked up the ingredients of this cough drop, and luckily it doesn't contain xylitol, which is highly toxic to dogs. The rest of the ingredients like menthol, eucalyptus oil, colors and flavors cause GI upset. I'd keep a close eye on her for now. If you see vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or a loss of appetite, please take her into an ER vet immediately. I hope this helps!

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Fortunately, there are no toxic ingredients for dogs in this product. Ingestion of large amount of sugar may produce vomiting and transient diarrhea but Kahlua should not develop any more serious symptoms. Please, offer your puppy small amounts of water every 30-60 minutes and monitor her closely at home. If she does develop diarrhea and profuse vomiting, you may have to take her to your local vets to get symptomatic treatment.

There is nothing else you need to do except feed him only boiled rice and chicken for the next day or two if you can, as the wrapper may have irritated his esophagus/stomach going down and a bland diet is always recommended when there is Gastrointestinal irritation to help the GI mucosal lining heal. It’s great that he vomited up the wrapper as it is no longer a risk for an obstruction in his intestines. Just monitor for normal eating, drinking and activity level but call your veterinarian if he continues to vomit, especially within 1/2 hr after eating, doesn’t pass normal stool within 2 days while on only boiled rice and chicken, strains to defecate, or has diarrhea. Good luck!
