Immediate Actions:
- Contact your veterinarian immediately: They will advise you on the appropriate course of action based on the amount and type of cinnamon consumed.
- Induce vomiting (if recommended by your veterinarian): This may help remove the cinnamon from your dog’s stomach, but only do this if specifically instructed by your vet.
- Monitor your dog closely: Observe for any signs of discomfort, vomiting, diarrhea, or other symptoms.
Potential Risks:
Cinnamon contains cinnamaldehyde, which can be toxic to dogs in large amounts. Symptoms of cinnamon poisoning can include:
- Vomiting

Treatment and Prevention:
- Medical treatment: Your veterinarian may prescribe activated charcoal, anti-emetics, or other medications to treat the symptoms and remove the cinnamon from your dog’s system.

- Prevention: Keep cinnamon out of reach of all pets. Do not allow dogs to eat cinnamon-flavored foods or chewing gum.
