Some of my dogzzzz like to wolf down chicken gum drops. I chase them away when ever I see that happening. Needless to say,,,,,,, they have indulged in it countless times. Never developed anything bad as a result.
Here is a copy and paste of some useful info I found. Hope it may answer some of your concerns.
