My puppy ate a dryer sheet. Will it pass through his system safely?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | unneutered | 7 lbs

My 6 month old 20lbs pup ate about a third of a used Tide Free and Gentle dryer sheet. I was able to get most of it but I am concerned about the remaining third in his system and if that will pass.

Hi, I think the amount ingested is very small and it should therefore not be dangerous for Murph and hopefully pass through. I would keep and eye on Murph feaces and make sure he is comfortable, eating and not vomiting. If worried, have him checked over but hopefully it will pass through over the next 24 -48 hours.
