Hi there! Thanks for reaching out, and I’m really glad you’re asking these questions for Rufus. It's totally normal to have a lot of questions with a new puppy in the house! Regarding marshmallows, while they're not toxic to dogs in small amounts, they don’t offer any nutritional value and might cause some tummy troubles, especially if Rufus is very young.
Watch out for symptoms like:
If you notice any of these, the good news is it's usually not an emergency unless they persist or worsen. In such cases, it's always a good idea to check in with a vet. If Rufus just snagged a few marshmallows and seems fine, give him plenty of fresh water and keep an eye on him for any changes.
An immediate call to the vet is crucial if he starts showing signs of severe distress, such as repeated vomiting, diarrhea with blood, or if he seems extremely weak. Just try to remember, it’s better to be cautious.
If you're unsure or your pet’s symptoms worsen, it's best to book a call with a vet on Dial A Vet for professional advice.

It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
