My puppy just ate a crayola bath drop meant for my kids' bath. Should I be worried?

While I was getting the bath ready for the kids today, my puppy somehow got hold of one of the Crayola bath drops and ate it. I'm concerned because I don't know if the ingredients are safe for dogs. Is there anything I should watch for or do immediately to ensure she's okay?

Answer

It sounds like your puppy ingested a Crayola bath drop, and you’re understandably concerned about possible effects on her health.

  • Monitor your puppy for any signs of distress.
  • Check for any unusual symptoms like vomiting or diarrhea.
  • Consult with a veterinarian for advice if needed.

Crayola bath drops are generally non-toxic, but since they are not designed for ingestion, it’s important to keep an eye on your puppy for any unusual symptoms. Typically, these products are made with child-safe materials, so the risk is low. However, if your puppy shows signs of gastrointestinal upset, such as vomiting or diarrhea, or if anything else seems out of the ordinary, it would be wise to consult with a veterinarian.

If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
