Who wants to know what happens when a labrador eats a kilo of caster sugar?

[BellaGoth]

Don't worry, the dog is fine for now!

I got home from shopping this morning and 8 week old DD started crying for a feed. I quickly put away everything I thought was at risk from labrador investigation and sat to feed her. Ddog had a sniff round and then came to cuddle on the sofa. By the time I finished feeding DD it was time to collect DS from nursery.

It did not cross my mind for a second that ddog would split open the bag of sugar all over the living room carpet and eat the vast majority of it. I was wrong.

Obviously I called the vet straight away, who laughed told me he would be fine, just might be a bit hyper.

He threw up on our bed. Right through the duvet, through the mattress and onto the carpet. The super king sized mattress is a write-off.

On the up side, dh says we can go bed shopping at ikea. Deep joy!

An acquaintance of mine has a Weimaraner who started his food stealing career by eating a glass. With the liquid inside. Rushed to hospital, surgery. Another glorious moment was when he ate a whole pot of Sauerkraut soup ( typical Christmas soup where he lives), including sausages, mushrooms and yes, the sauerkraut. Apparently except for farting like an elephant and contributing massively to the ozone layer damage there were no ill effects.
My cats fortunately ignore human food most of the time. But when we were wondering why the I'm not fat just fluffy cat was putting on weight although we were feeding her low calorie food and the kind elderly lady who was full of compassion for the poor cat who was permanently pregnant for the two years she knew her so she had to feed her had moved out, we discovered that DH was leaving his and DD's cereals with leftover milk on the table after breakfast and the fluffy one licked them clean. She also ate my scrambled eggs, tried to gently pull a pice of ham out of my sandwich and almost kidnapped chicken I was preparing for roasting as I went to fetch the veggies.
The older cat is partial to tuna, ice-cream and he once almost ate the whole banoffee pie except for the biscuit base. He also regularly raids our tea shelf because I have my good night stored there. It contains a tiny bit of valerian. Not even the catnip gets him so high as that minuscule amount which is in the teabags. He can smell it through the closed door, plastic and cardboard. And heavens forbid I make it while he's around. His eyes turn to UFO saucers and he's ready to lick the boiling liquid to get his fix.

This is a brilliant thread!

Man, I thought my hound was bad. There is no bin known to man he cannot raid, he eats anything he can find on walks, and is rather partial to sheep poo. He regularly cleans up DD's poopy type accidents. He's eaten more loaves of bread than I can remember.
One day I came home from work to find the fridge open. He had eaten a block of butter, a kg tub of margarine, a block of cheese, a pack of ham, half a tin of sweetcorn, took a box of eggs out and put them on the stone floor without breaking a single one! He didn't eat the bag of salad leaves though.... Sweetcorn is not digested in a dogs stomach.
He's meat and wheat intolerant, but try telling him that!

Not a dog but our pet cockatiel went quiet ominously behind the tv unit, then there was a massive 'POUF' and all the lights went off. All was silent for ages and I thought he was a goner until he emerged rather shaken with rather brown/singed feathers around his beak, silly think had chewed through the power cable to the stereo.

This was his THIRD cable he had chewed through, and was also partial to skirting boards, paintwork, doors, doorframes, cardboard, books, paper (the amount of nibbled homework the poor DCs had to hand in - and the library books)

I think this is one of the funniest threads I have ever read. Dh thinks our bichons are bad because they eat shoes and tissue paper any chance they get. Wait until I read him some of the posts on here.

My mums (white) dog ate madras curry sauce from a jar out of the bin. She was orange at both ends. There was also quite a lot of orange splatter from the bottom end up the white kitchen cupboards 😷

Cat food is a no no as dog gets the eye of the needle runs and whatever the time of day will cry to go out anyone have any ideas as to where to put the cat food without putting it on the kitchen surfaces need a special stand for cat feeding so its out of reach of the dog. Russian Blue Cat & Staffie x dog lived together for 5 years but still don't get along RBC cats are the snobs of the cat world they hate all but the humans that feed them and themselves ha MP

My old Dalmatian ate all sorts.

The biggest volume was a loaf of bread, a pound of butter, a pound of marg and half a Cadbury easter egg. He buried.

He ate about a pound of paraffin wax pellets used for making candles. That gave him the hiccups.

He ate a net of fat balls. Projectile shat seeds for about 3 days. The garden looked fab next spring!

And his best? 4800mg of ibuprofen. He appeared to be fine until he stopped weeing the next day.

Turned out he had bladder stones blocking him up - £1k and a sore willy later....

God rest him but he was a soppy bugger.

His successor is just as daft!

*burped not buried

I once had a lab that ate a wooden curtain pole waiting to be put up, a candle, roughly 4 or 5 bars of soap a week they was her favourite, the plug off the tv whilst it was plugged in (we only nipped out for 10 minutes) and she pulled off all the bath panels and ate them and the bathroom blind too. The bathroom was her favourite place to search for items. She also used to drink out of the toilet and jump in the bath with you if you got a bath instead of a shower

My labradoodle pup has been munching his way through the kids crayons - DH has reported multicoloured poop!!

My Mum's friend left the Xmas turkey cooking overnight-cat opened the oven door, ate a whole leg and spent the next 3 days comatose. And my sister's cat used to chew the chocolate decorations off the Xmas tree, and just leave little tags of foil hanging.

The deep fat fryer was on the side in the kitchen, i deviated as usual and ended up elsewhere in the house...before I'd switched it on I heard a bang from the kitchen, the cat had knocked it over and her and my dlab were busy "cleaning the floor" needless to say next morning there was a lovely gift all over the kitchen floor..and he was "well oiled" for days!!! I love my dogs

My friend and her husband had cleaned out the deep fat fryer and put the used oil in an ice cream tub in the bottom of the bin. They came home to find the whole bin demolished and the ice cream tub licked clean. The lab had a severe dose of the squits but an amazing coat for a couple of months and left an oily patch on the carpet wherever she lay.

We have 2 Labradors they aren't too bad for stealing. Most of the time they won't touch what isn't theirs if we are home. They are locked in the porch when we are out. But on the odd occasion they've been left the run of the kitchen. I think the thing that upset them the most was a large bag of fat balls for the birds. They were ill for days.
Also they have a mania for poo, one of ours ate loads of duck poo once, I've never seen a dog projectile vomit like that. Thank goodness we were still on the walk. Our dogs aren't allowed upstairs. So no mishaps on beds or carpets.
For a labrador it is better to have eaten it, thrown it up and then re eaten than to have not eaten at all!

Our lab, who sadly recently passed away, ate 19 packets of crisps in one sitting as a puppy. He also ate 2 raw jacket potatoes once. We have also had a bacon sandwich, pork kebabs and a few other items nicked over the years!

Years ago I dropped a large sherry trifle on the kitchen floor and the cat came to help me clean it up. He then went outside and ran round and round in circles for a few minutes, then keeled over and lay comatose on the lawn. We thought he might be dead, but found he was still breathing so left him there. After about an hour, he woke up and wobbled off to nurse his hangover. Poor cat........

My DM's chocolate brown Labrador ate pretty much anything - including her kitchen unit doors.

Ours regularly eat raw potatoes too. They can't be nice

The joys of labradors!! It's a daily occurrence that my two eat a random assortment of naughty things they once knawed their way into a melon and completely skinned it leaving a perfect shell with just a nose shaped hole!! 🙈

My old boy is a bin raker - we can't leave the kitchen door open otherwise he drags it all out.

My little boy - now long gone - was a devil for licking random things. We bought a new sofa once and paid extra for Scotchguard. Utter waste of time as he made it his mission over the next 3 years to patiently lick every inch of the upholstery over and over again and remove it. Another time I was glossing the skirting boards and couldn't understand why they looked so patchy...until I turned round and spotted him trailing round after me licking all the fresh paint off again.

For those with dogs who yak over beds and sofas, there is a school of thought that says that when your dog is ill they feel vulnerable, so look for somewhere that smells strongly of their owners because they feel safer there.

My old dog, GS once ate a whole cooked chicken, bones the lot! What I could never understand is it was resting half wrapped in tin foil (whole top covered) which hadn't moved and looked like the chicken was still underneath! Never noticed until I went to reheat it for dinner!

I am laughing so hard I'm afraid of waking the DC! LOve it.

Laughed out loud at orange at both ends dog!

My old German shepherd (miss you boy), once ate an entire Sunday roast that had been left on the counter while my DM found my dad to put the blades in the electric knife, everything was gone bar the string!! He was promptly shouted at and put out the back door as punishment whilst being told he was a naughty boy (he hated getting into bother), cue a trip for fish and chips. On our return about half an hour later we got a call from a neighbour up the road who said ddog was sitting alone in the lane and wouldn't move. We all traipsed to the lane and saw ddog who turned his back on us and sat facing the other way!! He was in the huff!!!
