I recently learned that cough drops are ok for a puppy. I'm not suggesting that you feed them as treats or meals, but an occasional cough drop or ten doesn't hurt anything.
Like most people, I tend to leave things on top of my nightstand. Maya has realized this, and believes anything I leave out is actually a treat for her. I got out of the shower the other day and Maya did not come up running to me, which means she got into something she shouldn't have. So I started my search. It didn't take me long to realize that there was something in her mouth. She ran off when I told her "drop," so I had to trade her for a Cheerio. It ended up being a half eaten (and still half-wrapped) cough drop. A quick scan of my bedroom revealed two empty wrappers with tiny teeth holes.
So I learned two things that day. First, don't leave cough drops on the night stand. Second, cough drops have a lot of sugar and make puppies very hyper. At least she didn't get sick.
