Eating a Zyn pouch can be dangerous for dogs due to the nicotine content, and it’s crucial to act quickly to ensure your pet's safety.
- Monitor for symptoms such as drooling, vomiting, shaking, or increased heart rate.
- Contact a veterinarian immediately if you see any signs of distress.
- Remove any remaining pouches to prevent further ingestion.
Nicotine is toxic to dogs and even small amounts, like those found in a single Zyn pouch, can lead to poisoning. It is important to seek veterinary advice promptly as symptoms can develop rapidly and become severe.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What should I do if I don't see any symptoms yet?

Symptoms of nicotine poisoning can appear within 1 to 4 hours after ingestion, but it may vary depending on the dog’s size and the amount consumed.
- Can I induce vomiting at home?
