My dog swallowed a plastic sauce packet and rubber band. Is it safe?

Pet's info: Dog | Beagle | Male | unneutered | 5 months and 10 days old | 53.7 lbs

Do there was some green sauce in a plastic pack with a rubber band on. My dog was eating it. I tried taking it away. He not only bit me a little but also ate the whole packet as it was with the rubber band intact. Will it come out in his poop.

Hello. I am so sorry that Aura bit you, I guess he really wanted the sauce packet. It the packet was the size of the ones you get at fast food places, then it should pass with no problems, rubber band & all. Just watch for any lethargy, vomiting or inappetence. If Aura has had no problems by Monday, then he should be just fine. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
