Hey there! No worries at all; it's definitely not a dumb question. 😊 It's great that you're checking. Brown sugar itself isn't toxic to dogs like chocolate or grapes can be. Most of the time, a small amount like what Bella might have licked up shouldn't be a problem.
Keep an eye on Bella for any unusual symptoms, though. These might include:
Generally, if she just had a little bit and she's acting normal, you can relax. Make sure she has access to fresh water, and maybe watch her treat intake for the rest of the day.
If you notice any of the above symptoms persisting or getting worse, it would be a good idea to reach out to your vet. However, this isn't usually something that's considered an emergency by itself unless you see severe symptoms like continuous vomiting or lethargy.
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
