Take away the plug and count what is missing
Collect the remaining foam and check whether one whole plug or torn sections cannot be found. Save the package if it lists materials or added features such as cords.
Do not improvise a vomiting remedy
Do not give salt, hydrogen peroxide, oil, or food to make your puppy vomit unless a veterinarian specifically directs it. Foreign-material risk depends on the item, dog size, amount, and timing.
Call when swallowing is possible
Contact your veterinarian when a plug or substantial piece may have been swallowed, the amount is uncertain, or your puppy develops vomiting, abdominal discomfort, reduced appetite, or unusual behavior.
Change bedside and travel storage
Keep earplugs inside a closed drawer or zippered pouch rather than on a nightstand, hotel floor, or open travel bag. Check under beds after use because dropped plugs are easy for puppies to find.
What to check before you decide
- Count the remaining earplugs
- Save product details
- Record time and possible amount swallowed
- Move earplugs into closed storage
When a product change is not the first step
Seek veterinary advice promptly if a whole earplug or large piece may have been swallowed, especially with repeated vomiting, abdominal pain, appetite loss, lethargy, or trouble passing stool.
Product comparison note
What to compare if equipment may help
Closed bedside and travel storage can keep earplugs and other small items inaccessible; storage products are prevention tools, not treatment after ingestion.
