Hello. There is nothing toxic or dangerous about lemon wedges, although for the life of me, I can not imagine a dog wanting to eat a lemon wedge! Dogs are amazing & never stop surprising me. Baker will be fine. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

    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!
