Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is not necessarily bad but I would be concerned about the possibility of your pup being able to swallow one hole causing an obstruction. Also, lemons can cause gastrointestinal upset including vomiting, diarrhea and inappetence. I would recommend not using a lemon for this purpose. Good luck and have a great day!
