However, if your dog did eat a pound of Christmas cookies, it's important to contact your veterinarian immediately. Here's why:
* Sugar: Cookies are high in sugar, which can cause serious health problems in dogs, including pancreatitis.
* Chocolate: If the cookies contained chocolate, even small amounts can be toxic to dogs.
* Other Ingredients: Some cookies contain ingredients like nuts, raisins, or artificial sweeteners that can also be harmful to dogs.
Your veterinarian will be able to assess the situation and advise you on the best course of action.
