Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear that Pupper was doing this and please don't feel awkward. It's all a part of life. The main thing is to prevent this from happening in the future since he may start consuming the used products. This is known as dietary indiscretion (eating things he's not supposed to) which can cause vomiting/diarrhea, nausea, etc and even a foreign body if enough is consumed and cannot be passed or vomited. Start keeping your trash in a place where he can't gain access. Good luck with Pupper.
