What should I do if my dog ate a piece of glass?

Immediately stop your dog from eating anything else and promptly seek emergency veterinary care for your pet. It’s completely understandable to panic when this happens. Try your level best to be vigilant; shattered glass in the vicinity may injure you as well. For this reason, it’s best to wear thick boots and to perhaps wrap your dog up in a towel (this protects your hands and helps you cradle your dog if they can be picked up).
