If your dog has swallowed something small, try to encourage it to pass by giving a bit of plain pumpkin or high-fiber food, maintaining regular walks, and ensuring it drinks plenty of water. Monitor your dog closely and contact a veterinarian if they show any signs of distress or if it doesn’t pass within 24 hours. Never induce vomiting without professional advice, as it could cause more harm depending on the object ingested.
