If they ate it
Call your vet or ASPCA Animal Poison Control (888) 426-4435 now, with the product, the amount and your pet's weight. Do not make them vomit unless a vet tells you to.
Careful for dogs means: fine in a small amount, prepared as described, and not for every pet; the details say when to skip it.
