Hi there! First off, there are no dumb questions when it comes to keeping little Waffles safe and happy. You're doing a great job looking out for him!
Regarding vanilla extract, it's great that you're checking because it can be a bit tricky. Vanilla extract contains alcohol, which isn't safe for dogs. Dogs are much more sensitive to alcohol than humans, so even small amounts can be a problem, especially for puppies like Waffles. If Waffles got a lick or two, he might be okay, but more significant amounts could lead to trouble.
Here’s what you should watch for:
If Waffles shows any of these symptoms, especially if he's lethargic, wobbly, or has breathing issues, that’s more urgent, and you should call or visit your vet immediately. If he's just seemed to have a small taste and seems his usual playful self, continue to keep an eye on him. It's always best to be cautious though, so if you're in doubt, don't hesitate to reach out to a vet.
At home, if he seems mildly uncomfortable but not alarming, make sure he has access to fresh water, and try to keep him calm and relaxed. Avoid vanilla extract in treats to be safe.
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
