The oxygen absorbers we use are non-toxic but they are also non-edible. These small packages help to keep contents fresh through a chemical reaction where iron powder in the packs reacts with the oxygen. When all the iron powder has oxidized, the oxygen absorbers are “loaded” and the absorbing action stops.
If your dog or cat has ingested one of these packs, we definitely recommend that you call your veterinarian, just as you would if your dog ate any other non-edible, non-toxic item.
The small packets included in our bags are called oxygen absorbers, which help keep products fresh. Here's what to do if your pet eats one.
