My dog ate human hair and passed it. Do I need to be concerned?

Question

Hi there, My dog seems to have eaten a clump of my long hair as I noticed it in his stool. When he had a bowel movement a string of hair was dangling and I pulled it out. He seems ok and had a second normal bowel movement afterwards. Should I be concerned? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 17 lbs

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Guilio. Given that the hair has passed and he is now having normal bowel movements, I wouldn't be concerned about him. Just keep an eye on him for now. I hope this helps!
