If your dog manages to chew off and swallow a small part of the silicone mat, there’s generally no need for immediate panic. Silicone is soft and flexible, so it is unlikely to cause damage to your dog’s gastrointestinal tract. Unlike sharp or hard objects, silicone won't scratch or cut your dog's intestines as it moves through the digestive system. If your dog appears to be in good spirits, eating normally, and not showing signs of distress, it’s usually safe to let the object pass on its own.
