My dog got hit in the head by a small object. Should I take her to the vet?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Female | unspayed | 5 lbs

My airpods case, which is solid yet very compact, fell off the couch and hit my dog in the head. She didn’t react with a scream like she normally would when in pain, but it was a direct hit and I’m very concerned if i need to take her to the vet.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Bella. Poor girl. This would not cause a concussion, it would have to be something very heavy. I doubt she needs a vet visit. She will be fine. I hope this helps!
