The material is non toxic to your dog but there is a concern for an obstruction depending upon how much was chewed into pieces or swallowed whole. You can continue her normal diet and routine and monitor for any vomiting and diarrhea or no appetite as those are signs of a problem. If you notice that then I would get her checked by your vet
