Basically, I came home to find my pup had eaten a small cup of lime crema that I forgot to put away. I know the essential oils in lime peels can be toxic, but what about a lime based sauce? I’m guessing he should be fine but I figured I’d ask.

Thank you for your question. I hope that he was okay. The sauce may have caused some GI upset, but I do not think that the lime in that sauce would be at a toxic dose.

My dog just ate a lemon Luna bar! How worried should I be!

Thank you for your question. I apologize for the delay in my reply, this venue is not set up for urgent emails. I do not think that there would be anything in that bar that would be toxic, but it could cause some GI upset. If your dog is having any vomiting or diarrhea, It would be best to have your pet seen by a veterinarian, as they can examine them, see what might be going on, and get any testing or treatment taken care of that might be needed.

Hi! My dog ate half of a squeezed lemon and peel from off the table - I saw her do it and she didn't even chew, just swallowed it whole. I've been reading that lemons can be really bad for dogs. What should we do?

Hello, So sorry to hear about your dog. Lemons are not toxic to dogs but can cause them to vomit or have diarrhea. If this happens, it may be best to see your vet for medication to help treat her symptoms. Good Luck.

Half a lemon fell On floor and he snatched it up and ate it Do I induce vomiting with him or what should I do?

Thank you for your question. I don't expect a toxicity from that amount of lemon, and the lemon should actually be broken down in the stomach and not have a huge risk for foreign body. There may be some GI upset, and you may want to feed him a bland diet of boiled white chicken and boiled white rice for a couple of days. It would be best also to monitor for any signs of vomiting or diarrhea, and if those occur, then it would be best to have him seen by a veterinarian. I hope it all goes well.

My dog a couple of leaves off a lemon tree last night. Should I take him in as an emergency visit?

Hello, This plant is toxic to dogs. Common signs that you will see are vomiting and diarrhea. If he just ate a small amount he may be just fine. Since you are already noticing some GI signs it would be best to take your dog to the vet, especially since your dog is small. I hope your dog starts to feel better soon.
