My dog ate a maraschino cherry. Will she be okay or get sick?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 3 years and 11 months old | 50 lbs

My dog ate one marachino cherry. Is that bad? She’s very healthy, no significant health history. It happened this morning and she hasn’t acted different or gotten sick.

Hi and thanks for posting. Ingesting one Marachino cherry is probably not enough to cause a significant problem. I would watch out for any signs such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or decrease appetite and take Daisy in to be seen by her vet if you notice any symptoms.
