My dog ate sugar scrub and threw up. Is it toxic? What should I do?

Question

Within the past two hours, my dog ate and then threw up a small jar of sugar scrub. Unfortunately, the jar does not have the ingredients printed on it and I haven't been able to find them on Google. She's acting totally fine and even begging for table scraps but I'm not sure if I need to take any action. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 2 years and 7 months old | 50 lbs

Thank you for trying to find the ingredients. For the most part, these sugar scrubs do not have any toxic ingredients in them, but keep a close eye on Stella to be safe. I can give you a home remedy for the vomiting. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, she vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps!
