Hi there! Don’t worry, it’s never a dumb question when it comes to keeping Max safe and healthy. Fig Newtons aren’t toxic to dogs, but they’re not the best treat choice either. They contain a lot of sugar and some artificial ingredients that could upset your pup's stomach.
Keep an eye out for symptoms like:
- Diarrhea
- Vomiting
- Lethargy
These are usually mild and should pass soon if Max only had a few bites. If he seems uncomfortable or the symptoms last more than a day, it might be time for a vet visit. However, if he ever starts showing serious signs like:
- Continuous vomiting
- Severe lethargy
- A refusal to drink water or eat meals
That’s when you’d want to reach out to a vet quickly as it could be the sign of a more significant issue.
For now, you can help him feel better by making sure he's staying hydrated. Keeping fresh water available is important. If you’re ever in doubt, it’s always better to give me or another vet a call.
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.
The "Ask a Vet" forum on Dial A Vet offers general information and helpful tips on pet health, but it's
not a substitute for professional veterinary care. The advice here doesn't create a veterinarian-client-patient relationship, and our vets can't diagnose or treat your pet remotely.
For emergencies or specific medical concerns, always contact your local veterinarian immediately. Your pet's health is unique, and decisions should only be made after consulting with a qualified professional. By using this forum, you acknowledge these limitations and agree to seek in-person veterinary advice for all your pet's health needs. View our
