Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Snoopy. Mascara is typically non-toxic, but it may be if he ate any if the tube pieces, they could cause some damage to his GI tract. If you see vomiting, diarrhea, blood in his feces, anorexia, or lethargy, I'd have him seen by a vet. Otherwise, he should be fine. I hope this helps!
