What happens if a dog eats tissue paper?

Eating a small amount of tissue paper is usually harmless for dogs. Tissue is made from wood pulp, and once it enters the stomach and intestines it can be digested and eliminated normally without causing major problems.

However, many tissues contain bleach residue, and frequent ingestion can have a negative impact on a dog’s health. In addition, eating a large amount of tissue at once can increase the burden on the digestive tract and disrupt intestinal function.

This may lead to vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and other digestive discomforts. If you catch your dog eating tissue, scold it promptly and keep tissues stored away.
