My dog ate a Tide To-Go pen. Should I go to the emergency vet?

Question

My 70lb 4 year old dog chewed up a tide to-go pen this morning while stressed from the thunder storm. When picked up, a lot poured out on to the carpet, so I'm not sure how much of the liquid she injested, but surely some. There was still the majority of the plastic visible as well, but again, she may have injested some. She is not currently exhibiting any symptoms out of the ordinary, but it just happened. Other questions to vets online said to watch, but no need to rush to e-vet. Is that true? Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | spayed | 4 years and 4 months old

From the MSDS for Tide to go: Low order of ingestion, may cause vomiting and diarrhea. I would not take Faith to the emergency vet right now. If you see that she starts having vomiting or diarrhea, make sure she gets plenty of fluids. If it lasts longer than 24 hours or she has a poor appetite, those would be reasons to a see a vet.
