My dog nibbled on a piece of asbestos in our old shed, she's a puppy. We stopped her and cleaned it up immediately. Should I be worried?

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Asbestos is dangerous to dogs as much as for human. Chronic exposure can lead to development of a malignant tumor. However, a single exposure to one piece of asbestos will not be harmful and your Bailey will be fine.
