My puppy ate artificial sweetener (erythritol, stevia). Is it toxic?

Question

Hi. My puppy go ahold of a artificial sugar packet (whole earth). She didn't have it for long and most of the chemical was still in there but she punctured the packet and definitely ate a small amount. The ingredients are erythritol, fructose, chicory root, stevia leaf, and monk fruit. Pet's info: Dog | Labradoodle | Female | unspayed | 3 months and 10 days old | 16 lbs

Luckily none of these ingredients are toxic. Xylitol is the only artificial sugar that causes toxicity. Ingesting a large amount of an artificial sugar could cause some stomach upset but I doubt you will see any symptoms if a small amount was ingested.
