What should I do if my Lab ate Halloween candy?

By · Updated

Short answer

Collect the wrappers to see what was eaten, especially chocolate type, sugar-free candy or gum (xylitol) and raisins, and estimate how much. Then call your vet, ASPCA Animal Poison Control at (888) 426-4435 or Pet Poison Helpline at (855) 764-7661. Don’t make your dog vomit unless a vet tells you to.
