What if my dog eats his chew toy?
A: If your dog is eating, drinking and eliminating normally, there’s probably nothing to worry about. The piece may have been chewed to bits before the bits were swallowed, or never swallowed at all. So be alert for symptoms, but your dog doesn’t need to see the veterinarian unless you notice problems.
How do you deal with destructive dog chewing?
Do your best to supervise your dog during all waking hours until you feel confident that his chewing behavior is under control. If you see him licking or chewing an item he shouldn’t, say “Uh-oh,” remove the item from your dog’s mouth, and insert something that he CAN chew. Then praise him happily.

What happens when a dog swallows a toy?
The dog had vomited a portion of the toy, but the remainder was stuck in the colon. Because this toy was hollow in the middle, it allowed the dog’s stool to pass through. After several weeks, the dog started to feel bad and developed diarrhea. Soon after, the dog’s owners decided to have the dog examined, and an X-ray diagnosed the problem.
