My dog ate human hair. Is it dangerous if I found it in his poop?

Question

This morning my dog, a daschund mix age 6, had some poop hanging off of him. When I pulled it off I also accidentally pulled a long human hair out of him that I guess he ate at some point. I'm not sure what to do or if I should be worried. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 25 lbs

I’m not too worried about 1 Human hair, but if he does consume enough of it I have seen it cause a blockage. Try to watch that he isn’t licking the floor after blow drying your hair , eating hair ties, or other avenues for consumption. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
