The Question
“My dog Emma ate an apple with banana Gogo sauce — the whole thing! What should I do?“– Amy
Quick Info about Emma
Dear Amy,
I’m sorry you are feeling worried. Dogs do love to get into things they should not, and sometimes that curiosity can cause us worry.
Just a reminder to you and all readers: this space is not intended for emergencies, so when there is any doubt about what your dog may have eaten or if concerning signs appear, the safest step is always to seek immediate veterinary care.
If Emma ate an apple with banana-flavored GoGo Squeez sauce, the concern depends on the exact ingredients. Plain apples and bananas are generally safe for dogs, and the fruit-only versions of these pouches are not toxic. The problem comes when a product contains added sugar, raisins, grapes, chocolate, or artificial sweeteners such as xylitol, which are dangerous even in very small amounts. If it were only fruit puree, she might simply have some mild digestive upset, like soft stools or gas.
Another important consideration is whether she swallowed the packaging. Plastic or foil pieces can cause gastrointestinal obstruction, which may become a serious emergency if they block the passage of food. If you suspect Emma ate the package or if you notice vomiting, loss of appetite, abdominal discomfort, or difficulty passing stools, she should be examined by a veterinarian without delay, so please don’t wait. I hope this helps,
– Dr. Paola
