Your dog ingesting a small piece of a Lush bubble bath bar and subsequently vomiting is understandably concerning. While certain ingredients in bath products can be irritating to pets, most cases only result in mild gastrointestinal upset.
- Keep a close eye on your dog's behavior and any persistent vomiting.
- Keep the packaging of the bath product handy for ingredient reference if needed.
- If symptoms persist or worsen, contact a veterinarian promptly.
