My dog ate a small piece of rug. Should I be worried about her?

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 2 months old | 20 lbs

My dog ate the bottom part of my rug. Not much, but I am still a bit worried. The tag says it’s made of 100% undetermined fiber. Will this hurt her??

If Zoe did not eat a lot, this likely will pass without problem. There is a chance it could cause an obstruction or GI upset, so monitor her for signs such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or anorexia. If you see any of those signs, have her seen by a vet. Best of luck.
