There shouldn't be any reason for concern. Most of the dog treats are made with the same ingredients that you would find in many processed foods that we would eat. And in some cases the dog treats are healthier than what we would eat.

yeh it was probably something i should not have done when i was younger, but it didn't seem to harm me. but then what is in the biscuits may be different now. thou i know the dog food, with meat and veggies didn't kill the horse she loves eating them.

hi jep__toyo I would call your vet and ask her or him just what is in the particular brand of dog treats.I can imagine it would not hurt her as I have heard of other children doing the same thing too and they seemed okay as far as I knew. You might also call your doctor if you are really worried.

I think she should be okay. Check the box to make sure. If you are concerned, contact the company and/or take her to a clinic. I would think she should be okay, though.
