I want to make sure if it's ok if my dog swallows the tiny shreds of plastic that come off chew toys like nylabone. They aren't pieces, just tiny shreds

These tiny pieces should pass through without an issues. It is when larger pieces break off and are ingested that there is cause for concern. Always monitor your dog when he is chewing. Replace the NylaBone if it breaks into several parts or if he can fit the entire bone into his mouth.
