My dog ate the green coloring off a decorative bow. Is it safe?

Question

Hello, My dog is a 10 year old female, about 16 pounds. She loves to fetch and was playing with a decorative bow (like the shiny plasticky kind). As she played with it, I noticed that the green coloring had come off and the bow was just silver now. I am afraid that she may have ingested some of the green coloring and I don’t know what that was. She doesn’t appear to be acting any different right now. Thanks.

Hi. Lucy sounds like a sweet girl. I would not worry if there is no parts of bow missing. If it is just the color, then she should be fine. If she has any vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or any other abnormal signs, then I'd get her to your veterinarian.
