My dog ate a tissue with detergent and conditioner. Is he okay?

Question

Jake got hold of a piece of tissue that had been in the washing machine! It had washing power and conditioner soaked in. It had been in the dryer too! He was chewing it, so it obviously got wet again I don't think he ate much if any of the tissue! Will he be okay? Can it cause any problems? :(. Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Male | neutered | 1 year and 3 months old

Poor Jake! I assume Jake got the tissue after it had been through the full wash cycle, because if so most of the detergent should have rinsed out of it. If he didn't chew too much of the tissue I doubt he ingested that much of the chemicals. The chemicals tend to not be harmful in small quantities, so he should be fine. I would keep a close eye on him for the next 24 hours, he may develop a bit of an upset tummy. If he starts vomiting and can't stop or seems to getting dull I would visit the vet. Otherwise just keep an eye and give him plenty of water.
