My dog swallowed Babybel wax. Will it cause an intestinal blockage?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 2 years and 8 months old

Stella 45 pounds got half of mini babybel red wax (only half side of wax) chewed it and swallowed is there a big chance of a blockage? Thank you

It is a small amount of wax, and given her size, I would not say there is a huge chance of blockage. I would monitor her to be safe over the 72 hours. If you see any signs of vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, or lethargy, then I would take her into the vet for an exam. She should pass this fine, however.
