My chihuahua ate a fitness tracker. Is he safe if he's acting fine?

Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Male | neutered | 2 years and 3 months old | 19 lbs

We think our chihuahua ate half of a fitness tracker wristband. He’s acting completely normal with eating and pooping and he pooped a few pieces out two days ago. Should we be concerned or just let it run its course?

If he chewed the wristband into pieces then it will probably pass through without causing a problem. Monitor him for vomiting and diarrhea and have him examined by a vet if you notice anything abnormal.
