My dog ate a Sugar Bear sleep gummy. Should I be worried about her?

Most types of gummy bears should not cause any problems; however, you should check the ingredients to make sure that they don't contain [xylitol](https://www.petcoach.co/article/6-products-that-contain-xylitol/). If they don't, then Bogo should be just fine apart from some mild GI upset such as loose stool for a day or so. If they do contain xylitol, this is a more serious problem because this sweetener is toxic to dogs - so if this is on the ingredient list, I would recommend having him seen by an emergency vet right away so that they can induce vomiting and start treatment to try and prevent any problems.

I'm assuming these are gummy sweets? If so, I would not worry - they are not toxic. The most that may happen is a bit of vomiting and/or diarrhea due to the high sugar content. If that happens usually the symptoms are self-limiting - meaning they will resolve on their own. If they don't, then a vet visit would be needed. My recommendation is to just monitor him for now and if you see anything that you are worried about then get him to your vet for an exam. I hope this helps. Best wishes to you and Toby!

These gums can potentially cause gastrointestinal upset and, if xylitol is inside, can cause profound hypoglycemia and liver toxicity. Gastrointestinal obstruction are possible as well. A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately.

If it is a ''gummy'' tablet it may cause gastrointestinal signs such as vomiting or diarrhea. The toxicity from the single components (Vitamins, mineral etc etc) depends on their concentration. Generally speaking it should be a major concern as the concentration is quite low. If there is xylitol inside the tablet that may be dangerous, and in case of ingestion, your dog needs to be seen by a veterinarian. The ingestion of xylitol or xylitol-containing products causes a rapid release of the hormone insulin, causing a sudden decrease in the dog's blood glucose. Signs to look for are: lethargy, vomiting, loss of coordination, collapse, and eventually seizures.

You need to take Gia into a vet immediately. This gummy contains xylitol, which is highly toxic to dogs. She needs veterinary care now, this is not something that can be treated at home. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.

Hello. There is nothing dangerous in the gummies, but I do not promise that Harley won't vomit up the whole mess. And he may develop some diarrhea, but all this should be self limiting & there will be no long lasting effects. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

The amount of Vitamin D ingested will likely not put a dog of her weight at risk of serious toxicity. Make sure the gummies do not contain xylitol. That would be more dangerous than the Vitamin D. If they contain xylitol,seek veterinary attention immediately. Xylitol is toxic to dogs. It may cause a dangerous drop in blood sugar levels. If the gummies do not have xylitol, the worst you may see is some minor stomach upset.
