    Birth control pills are designed specifically for the human female body. As such, a pill of that type interacting with the physiology of a dog, while probably not life threatening, CAN cause some problems. You should not hesitate to take the dog to the vet and inform the veterinarian that the dog swallowed a birth control pill. Worst case scenario, the Vet will give the dog a shot, or prescribe an anti-biotic that will flush and clean the system. Also, if your dog swallowed the pill then it may have immediately gone to eat grass afterward. If it vomited afterward, chances are that it got the pill out of its body, but you should still not hesitate to take the dog to the Vet, since he/she will know what to do.
