While one chew may not be toxic, it's essential to monitor your dog closely for any unusual symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, or changes in behavior. Not all ingredients in human products are safe for animals, so being cautious is always best. If your dog shows any signs of distress, please reach out to a veterinarian for guidance.
