Yikes! It is perfectly normal for puppies to chew, and it is important to provide them with appropriate toys to chew on. Even if she has a lot of toys and chews Zoe might still be attracted to this area of the floor however. I would recommend keeping her crated or confined to another puppy proofed area whenever you are not directly supervising her.
If you think she may have eaten larger pieces of the floor you should watch for signs of an obstruction like vomiting or a decrease in appetite.
