My ~20lb dog ate nearly an entire lemon Larabar

Hi there! It sounds like your curious pup found a tasty (or maybe not so tasty!) treat. While Larabars are made from natural ingredients, there are a few factors to consider. The primary ingredients you'd find in a lemon Larabar – like dates, nuts, and lemon – are not toxic, but they are rich and high in sugar, which might upset your dog's stomach.



Common symptoms to watch out for include vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal discomfort. If your dog starts showing these signs, ensure they have access to plenty of fresh water to stay hydrated. You might want to withhold food for a few hours to let their tummy settle.



More serious concerns would arise if the bar contained any harmful added ingredients, like chocolate or raisins, but it doesn't seem like that's the case with lemon flavor. Still, you should keep an eye out for signs of a severe reaction, like lethargy or persistent vomiting, as those could indicate something more worrying.



Overall, your dog will likely be just fine, but it's always great to stay on the safe side. If you notice any concerning symptoms or if your four-legged friend just seems "off," it could be helpful to book a video consult with one of our vets here at Dial A Vet. We're here to help!
