There is no guarantee it will pass. It really depends on your puppies GI system as some are more forgiving than others. if it was shredded and seollowed in smaller pieces then it has a better chance of passing it than large pieces. All you can do at this point is monitor for any signs of an obstruction such as vomiting and diarrhea, lethargy or a change in appetite. If these are noticed then he should be checked right away
