Hey there! It's great that you're double-checking to keep your furry friend safe. Fruit snacks aren't toxic like chocolate or grapes can be, but they do have a lot of sugar and sometimes artificial sweeteners which aren't ideal for dogs. If your pup only had a couple of pieces, she should be just fine. However, keep an eye out for any unusual symptoms like:
If you notice these signs and they seem mild, you can try withholding food for a few hours and encouraging her to drink water to stay hydrated. Monitor her behavior closely. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's a good idea to call a vet.
Now, if she does get into a sweetener called xylitol (sometimes found in sugar-free snacks), then that's a reason to be more concerned, as it can cause a dangerous drop in blood sugar levels. In these cases, symptoms like loss of coordination or seizures can appear, and you should definitely seek veterinary help immediately.
In general, it's best to avoid giving your pup fruit snacks. Instead, opt for safer treats like apple slices (without seeds) or carrot sticks, which are just as tasty and much healthier!
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.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
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
