Hi I’m a little worried. I noticed my dog chewed apart a bounce sheet from my laundry. I’m not sure if she ate any of it but it she shredded it. I don’t know what I should do

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Aside from some froathing/foaming from irritation from the mouth she should be fine. If she seems like she is irritated in the mouth you can rinse it with water (turn her head sideways and stream water through sideways, so that you are not pouring water into her mouth that she could get into her airway). Otherwise just provide lots of fresh water for her to drink. Best of luck with Bella!
