My black lab/ 60 pounds chewed up a water bottle cap last night and swallowed it. He ate last night and this morning and pooped already. Advice?

Small objects like water bottle cap will be most likely passed in stools. However, if you see signs like vomiting, abdominal pain or lack of appetite you should take your dog to your local vets without delay.
