- Ingestion of small amounts is usually not harmful.
- Watch for any signs of discomfort.
- Consult a vet if symptoms develop or worsen.

However, if your pet consumed a large quantity or if you notice any symptoms such as vomiting or diarrhea, it's best to consult a veterinarian. Keep an eye on your dog for the next 24 hours to ensure they are behaving normally.
