my dog ate a whole pack of gum swallowed 11 pieces cant find a single piece left she ate some of the wrappers too so i dont know if there is any health hazards well just in case i'll check with the vet tommorow
 
If the gum contained Xylitol (most sugar-free brands do!), that is EXTREMELY toxic to dogs and 2-3 sticks can be fatal. If the gum contained Xylitol it is vital that your dog be rushed to the nearest emergency vet for treatment right now this minute.
 
If it is sugar free, then yes your dog needs to go to the vet. Even if it isn't, the sheer amount of plastic would warrant a visit.

Look up an emergency vet in your area.
