Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
Roxy is a large dog so I think that a handful should be ok. In large amounts they could cause an obstruction. Just watch for vomiting, lethargy and not wanting to eat. If any of those signs occur seek immediate veterinary care.
Good luck!
