My dog ate furniture stuffing. What signs should I watch for?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Goldendoodle | Male | neutered | 5 months and 4 days old | 36 lbs

We have a soft ottoman covered with a sort of pleather with stuffing inside. My dog chewed a small hole in the cover, and the pleather and the stuffing were on the floor. I’m not sure if he ate any. What should I look out for?

Oops sorry that happened! Thanks for reaching out. Stuffing from furniture like sofas can cause gastrointestinal distress including gastrointestinal obstruction. Signs you'll want to keep an eye out for are vomiting, unable to keep food or water down, regurgitating shortly after meals, inappetence, and diarrhea. Please take Murphy to see his veterinarian if you notice any of those concerning signs.
