Inspired by My dog ate... what has your dog eaten

[Micheme]

I have a golden retreiver to whom we refer as the human vaccuum. She eats everything, here is just a sampling

Sock, Sock and more socks
All the babies toys
She ate a magnet once - so wanted to see if she would stick to the fridge
Crayons
She once ate $100 (5 $20 bills)
Leap Frog Grocery item ( a toy that is a grocery cart with items in it that you scan and it tell about the item, never thought to scan her tummy)
A whole chocoate cake (Christmas dessert before anyone got to have any of it)
Those long turkey lifter strings

That is just a sampling so wallow with me and tell me what your dog has eaten

When I was in high school, my boyfriend was over. We were getting a snack and he wore a retainer. He discreetly took it out, wrapped it in a napkin and placed it on the coffee table. While we were eating my dog grabbed the napkin, retainer and all, and went "chomp."

Luckily my parents' homeowners insurance covered it.

That dog ate other, much more distasteful things, but I won't go there.

If we put our dog's food on paper plates she eats the plate along with her food. Makes for easy clean up.

Our dog Xander (a german shepherd) has eaten towels, his dog bed (it just started to disappear), plastic dog toys, a marker, a whole 20oz coke bottle (plastic), Barbie's head (Remy was hysterical)...the list goes on. The vet "knows" us.

 

[janette]

The worst was our oldest dog's Rimadyl, we had a very sick puppy. Spent a couple of days a the vet ER.

Another gross item is the papers that come with the pre-cooked bacon. Have to be very careful as he'll get them out of the trash. They don't digest but at least they've come back up.

 

[MouseEars4us]

The list is short but gross...well, the gross part having to watch for signs of the (?) items?
Tinsel, poo resembeled a strand of tree lights...
baby diapers, totally grossed me out ...
cat litter with bonus items, again I was sick...
crayons, stink bugs, flies, and dirt... Molly loves the garbage...
and one dog we had kept getting into the laundry and chewing underwear...

A friend of mine adopted a mutt who chewed every LEFT shoe he had...then moved on to the buttons on the couch.

My sisters Lab brings home every dead animal she can find and catches birds in mid air once in awhile...

I love dogs, but their diets leave alot to be desired!!! and don't lick me!

 

[MouseEars4us]

Oh! I forgot one...our adopted Sheltie "Pumba" ate and entire plate of chocolate fudge my MIL had set out for Christmas...
he survived and still gives us the begging look if anyone has chocolate...

I hope that you don't do that very often!

My Maxie once ate and entire pineapple upside down cake, that I had just made.

 

[Poohnatic]

My lab was also a glutton. If it remotely smelled like food, it went in his tummy.

He ate a bottle of baby oil, mouse poison (doc said give him more food), 5 pounds of vanilla walnut fudge, those aforementioned bacon papers, potpourri, and soap.

the odd thing that he ate daily was carrots. He was overweight when I got him, and the dog books said to give carrots as labs are hogs...it worked. He loved them, they did a great job of cleaning his teeth and his coat got very shiny and soft.

[OK!]

Our late yellow Lab (the same one who once ate 2 pounds of chocolate-covered macadamia nuts w/o getting sick, amazingly) once got hold of a semi-frozen deer carcass that a hunter had left on our property after killing and cleaning it; she managed to eat (apparently) nearly all of what was left. I'm delighted I wasn't there when the frozen entrails finally made Sable sick; according to my dad, it looked like a scene out of Alien.

Sock, Sock and more socks

My Golden loves socks! Does your chew them or swallow them whole? Ours eats mens socks whole! Don't ask how we know

What I want to know is how on earth you can swallow an entire sock? Gross!

 

[aprilgail2]

Anything you leave out my dog eats! We had to have his stomach xrayed one day and the whole bottom was filled with rocks!! Cleaning up the yard can be interesting...he must have gotton hold of my daughters crayons and there was some very colorful piles of crap out there! Tinsil and sting, he ate a 25.00 rebate check I had, he eats newspapers, he ate an entire ice cream pop in one gulp out of my daughters hands...he took a whole raw chicken off the counter and ate it-bones and all! Anything left out he will eat....oh the craziest one was at CHristmas he knocked a glass ball ornament off the tree and was trying to eat it! He had this big piece in his mouth and was chewing it when I found him and made him spit it out! The dog is just SO stupid, he is a cocker spaniel and he is the LAST cocker spaniel I will ever own!!
We almost gave him away 2 years ago (he is 3)...it took 2 years for him to be housebroken....finally about 8 months ago we had him put on some medcine (sort of a doggie ridilin type) and he has been better since then...still not great but tolerable most of the time.

 

[WilmaBud]

Growing up, we had a Weimeraner who ate bars of soap, whole. She also swallowed washrags and Brillo pads whole.

My beagles eat poop (their own and the cats') That's the grossest thing. One of my beagles also loves to eat the casts' hairballs. When we hear one of the cats wretching, we have to race to get there before the dog does, or it'll be gone!

My new beagle has eaten part of our couch - he's lucky we're tolerant. They like to behead my daughter's Polly Pockets. And one time, they actually did eat my DD's homework!

They eat crayons, markers, pens and pencils (they're very intellectual ). They get into the trash, and they seem especially found of coffee grounds.

Another very gross thing is that one time, I found the bottom half of a squirrel on my back porch. I don't even want to think about what happened to the top half.

One time, my Wilma and Freddie (RIP) at an entire can of Slim Fast powder. That was pleasant. The effect was similar to when they got into the cabinet and ate an entire bag of brown sugar and a box of Triscuits.

They never learn! Last year, when Wilma and Fred were 14 (and Fred was a heart patient), they ate 2 bags of chocolate chips right out of my grocery bag. I had to induce vomiting (just give them Hydrogen Peroxide, and good luck getting it down them) and follow them around the yard making sure they threw it all up. Thank goodness they survived it! A week or so later, Wilma was in a closet we rarely use. She was in there quite a while, so I checked on her. She must've vomited some chocolate there the week before (unbeknownst to us) and was now eating the vomit. So, the Hydrogen Peroxide came out again. I swear the dog has a death wish!!

There isn't much Maddy won't eat:
A dish rag
A check from our insurance company... she left enough so we'd KNOW she ate it.
Money
Crayons
Sponges
The kids Homework
Tennis balls
Dog toys (just eats them up...)
And last, but not least..... her own poo.

 

[stinkerbelle]

The list is short but gross...well, the gross part having to watch for signs of the (?) items?
Tinsel, poo resembeled a strand of tree lights...

ah yes...growing up we had a dog that liked to eat tinsel. My brother fondly referred to the poo as "Shiny Shi..." well...you know.

When our dog was a pup, she liked to eat stuff from Victoria's secret. If I didnt' close my drawers all the way, she's work them open and go to town. One morning I woke up and found a novel and a magazine shredded, 2 bras ($40 each) and FOUR pairs of underwear in shreds.

luckily DH (BF at the time) felt bad and gave me a very generous gift card to VS that christmas.

 

[Kermit]

My dog ate a pair of my undies when he was a puppy. I didn't realize it until he threw them up.

He once ate an entire batch of those chocolate no-bake cookies. We had to induce vomiting with peroxide. It was a yucky experience for all of us involved.

If we put our dog's food on paper plates she eats the plate along with her food. Makes for easy clean up.

My 2-year-old son does that, too.

 

[Mermaid02]

A pair of Tevas..... forgot about that!

 

[sweet angel]

My BF's cell phone
Brownies out of the tray on the counter
The grease that's in the tray from a George Foreman grill
Cooling grease from making breaded chicken cutlets
"Cat box crunchies" - can't do that anymore because the cat is gone.

 

[Breezy_Carol]

A sheltie I had 20 years ago ate wood screws. He was in one of those portable fences to contain him in the basement but he walked the fence over to a counter where the screws were and ate them from the top of the counter.

One of the shelties I have now would chew through the pad cover in her crate and eat the foam rubber pad. That shows up later in the backyard unchaged, which was how I found out she was chewing it. She know has an empty crate with no pad.
