If in doubt, always call your vet or the Animal Poison Line immediately.

Why It's Dangerous

Marmite (yeast extract) is extremely high in sodium, and a dog eating a meaningful amount straight from the jar can consume a concentrated dose of salt in a small volume.

Symptoms to Watch For

  • Excessive thirst and urination
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhoea
  • Lethargy
  • Seizures in severe, large-quantity cases

Vet Guidance

Contact your vet if a significant amount was eaten directly, given how concentrated the salt content is.
