My dog swallowed a beef tendon. Is it safe or should I be concerned?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If it was just the nugget without bone then he is likely to be just fine. If he continues to show discomfort in the next few hours, I recommend you have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Otherwise, he is likely going to be fine. Best of luck!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. The answer is: probably not. I think it very likely to pass without incident. Nonetheless, keep an eye on Charlie over the next few days and take him in to see the vet if you see more than one episode of vomiting or sudden loss of appetite. Best wishes to you and Charlie!

Given it was a small size, it should pass fine on it's own. I wouldn't take Bentley into the vet now. You can monitor him for signs of obstruction (vomiting, anorexia, lethargy, constipation), but he should be fine :-)

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Georgie. Given that she is acting normally, I would not be concerned at this point in time. Keep monitoring her tonight, and if she is still normal in the morning, she should be ok. I hope this helps!

I do not see any need to worry at this time. If it was stuck in his throat, then he would be continually gagging and coughing. There is also not much of a chance it would be causing problems in the stomach or intestines, because these are digestible. Signs of a blockage are: not eating, not pooping, vomiting, and acting very depressed/painful. If you happen to see these signs, then this would warrant an urgent trip to the vet. Otherwise, he seems to be doing OK, so I wouldn't be concerned. I hope that helps and all is well with Coby.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Teddy. This should pass without problem, and will likely break down in the stomach with the stomach acid. Just keep an eye on him for vomiting, diarrhea, blood in the feces, anorexia, or lethargy. If you see any of those signs, then I would take him into the vet. I hope this helps!

If the treat were lodged somewhere, I would expect Rocky to be coughing or gagging. Since he is acting normally, I would presume that it is in his stomach. Depending on the product and the size of the treat, most dental treats have been designed to dissolve in the stomach. I would contact the company that made the dental treat to verify this information and see if they recommend seeking medical care. Hopefully, it will break down in his stomach and won't require any other treatment. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and that Rocky is fine.
