- Consult a vet if symptoms appear or worsen.
- Miracle-Gro is generally considered non-toxic, but caution is advised.
Ingesting a small amount of Miracle-Gro potting soil typically does not cause severe issues since it is designed to be non-toxic; however, it's important to watch for signs of gastrointestinal upset such as vomiting or diarrhea. We recommend keeping an eye on your dog for the next 24–48 hours. If you notice any symptoms or have concerns, a consultation with a vet is always a good idea.
