Hi there! I'm glad you reached out with your concern about your dog. Dogs can sometimes get into things they're not supposed to, and candy wrappers are a common temptation due to their enticing smell.
If your dog has ingested candy wrappers, it's important to monitor them closely. In many cases, small wrappers can pass through their digestive system naturally. However, this depends on the size of your dog and the amount and type of wrappers ingested.
Keep an eye on your dog for any signs of distress, such as vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, or abdominal pain. These could indicate that the wrappers are causing an obstruction or irritation in the gut. Make sure your dog has plenty of water to help things move along, and observe their bowel movements to see if the wrappers pass in a couple of days.
If you notice any concerning symptoms or if you’re unable to find evidence that the wrappers have passed after about 48 hours, it's time to consult with a vet. An obstruction could become quite serious if left unchecked.
I recommend setting up a video consult with a Dial A Vet professional who can offer specific guidance based on your dog’s situation. This way, you can ensure your furry friend stays safe and healthy.

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
