Can your dog eat a sponge or should you get vet?

It's highly likely your dog should not eat a sponge and you should contact your vet. Here's why:

* Choking Hazard: Sponges can be a choking hazard, especially for smaller dogs.

* Digestive Blockage: Sponges are not digestible and can cause a blockage in your dog's intestines. This can be very serious and require surgery.

* Toxicity: Some sponges contain chemicals that could be toxic to your dog.

What to do:

1. Remove the sponge if possible. If your dog hasn't swallowed it yet, try to remove it.

2. Monitor your dog closely. Watch for signs of choking, vomiting, or changes in behavior.

3. Contact your vet immediately. Describe the situation to your vet and they will advise you on the best course of action.

Prevention is key: Keep sponges and other cleaning supplies out of reach of your dog.
