My dog ate brown sugar bath scrub. Is it toxic? What to watch for?

Question

I came home and found out my dog ate 8 oz of brown sugar bath scrub. It contains soybean oil, grape seed oil, shea butter, and fragrance oil. He is acting normal but I am still concerned. He is about 5 yrs old and weighs 55 lbs. What do you recommend?? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 55 lbs

Apparently Kurt had his own plans for New Years! None of the oils are toxic to dogs (unless there is something that is not listed in the Fragrance Oils), but if he ate 8 ounces of it, that is a lot of oils and he certainly could have some diarrhea from it. If the diarrhea is mild, you could just add some cooked white rice to his food to help it resolve. If it is worse, you could feed him 1/2 cooked white rice and 1/2 cooked white meat chicken (no skin or bones) until the diarrhea has resolved. If the diarrhea is severe, has blood in it, Kurt is lethargic or the diarrhea continues for more than a few days, I would see your veterinarian. Good luck! Hopefully he will be fine.
