Hey there! It's great that you're thinking about what's best for your pup. Fig Newtons aren't toxic to dogs, but let's break it down a bit to keep your furry friend feeling their best.
Fig Newtons contain sugar and sometimes artificial ingredients, which aren’t ideal for dogs. If your pup just had a small piece, it's unlikely to cause harm, but it’s better to keep those treats to yourself in the future.
Watch out for any signs of tummy upset such as:
Most mild tummy troubles can resolve on their own. Keep fresh water available and monitor your dog. If you notice any major changes in behavior like lethargy or if symptoms persist for more than 24 hours, that’s a good point to think about checking in with a vet.
If your dog managed to nab a large amount, keep an eye out for more severe reactions. While fig newtons themselves don't usually cause emergencies, eating a lot can make your pup feel pretty lousy due to sugar overload. Call the vet if your pet seems very uncomfortable, refuses food, or exhibits signs of dehydration.
Remember, each dog is different. 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
