Cough Drop

No, your dog should not eat cough drops. There are lots of potential problems here! First, check the ingredient list–sugar, eucalyptus, flavors and colors ,and even menthol will likely cause only passing stomach distress. However, the presence of Xylitol or benzocaine can be extremely dangerous or even fatal to your dog. In addition, the shape of cough drops, as well as their wrappers, is a choking hazard.
