My puppy swallowed a Greenies treat without chewing. Will he be okay?

Question

I searched up dental treats for puppies as I heard that it was good to make their teeth strong and clean. We ordered Greenies treat and gave it to our dog. I decided to read the very fine print and it said not suitable for dogs less than 6 months and he is only 2 months. We quickly tried to get the treat out, but he bolted and we couldn't catch him. He ended up swallowing the treat, without chewing it enough. He didn't choke on it, but I am still very concerned. Will he be okay? Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | unneutered | 7 lbs

It should dissolve in his stomach but you should monitor for vomiting and diarrhea. If you notice anything abnormal then he should be examined by a vet for treatment. You could buy a Kong toy for him and stuff it with treats. He won't be able to swollow the Kong.
