If it was a lot of string than yes I'd be concerned. If it was just a little bit than no. It will come out in the dogs poop.

It depends on the length of the string. String can be very deadly--it gets hung up in the intestines and causes them to bunch up and then it eventually cuts through the intestines. I've seen enough of these surgeries in the last 20 years to take this question very seriously. My 3 year old Dobie ate comforter batting a few years ago and it killed him. Watch your pup carefully, and if it doesn't pass in a couple of day, or at the first sign of not eating, vomiting, diarrhea, or pain consider it an emergency.

String that is eaten can seriously harm a pet by wrapping around the intestines. However, this would depend on the size and length of the string. If you don't see the string in his stool within the next week, you might want to go to the vet.

The puppy should be fine. It should just come out in his poop. If he does seem to get sick (Very unlikely) then take him to the vet. My dog just ate a bar of soap last week, and she was fine. My dog is always causing some kind of trouble.

lol, my dog ate a tampon once, lol. don't worry, he'll poop it out... unless it was quite a substantial amount of string. in which case, I'd take him to the vet. who will probably give him a small amount of laxative, or may need to preform surgery depending on how much string. if it was less than a foot, i would just wait it out. :o)
