Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Usually, if just a small amount is ingested, it is not considered dangerously toxic especially if it is ingested by a large dog. However, in some cases it may cause irritation, nausea, vomiting and in rare occasions also gastrointestinal ulcers. You can continue to monitor Bella and if you notice any nausea, vomiting, inappetence or blood in the feces or vomit, have her evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a great day!
