Why It's Dangerous

Vegemite, like Marmite, is a concentrated yeast extract very high in sodium. A dog eating a meaningful amount directly can take in a concentrated salt dose relative to their body weight.

Symptoms to Watch For

  • Excessive thirst and urination
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhoea
  • Lethargy
  • Seizures in severe cases

Vet Guidance

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