Hey there! No question is a dumb question when it comes to keeping little Max safe, so I’m glad you reached out. Jelly beans aren't safe for dogs, unfortunately. Here's why: they often contain sugar, artificial flavors, and sometimes even xylitol—a sweetener that’s quite toxic to dogs.
If Max accidentally gobbled up a few jelly beans, keep an eye out for these symptoms:
If you suspect he ate jelly beans containing xylitol or if he's showing any of the above symptoms, especially seizures or extreme lethargy, it’s time to call a vet immediately. This could be an emergency, particularly with xylitol involved.
If the jelly beans didn't contain xylitol and Max just had a few, you might see some mild tummy upset, which can be okay to monitor at home. You can encourage him to drink water to stay hydrated, and watch for any worsening signs.
Trust your instincts—if something feels off, don't hesitate to reach out to a vet. Better to be safe and give Max the best care possible!
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
