Agh! The dog has just eaten a £20 note!! What have your lovely dogs eaten/chewed in their time?

I have just got back from town and my lovely 9 month old Staff has eaten/ripped to shreds a £20 note!
She has eaten numerous shoes and toys since we've had her, but it got me thinking about the strangest things dogs manage to chew!

My ex MIL's dog chewed her frying pan once so it was all fluted around the edge, and he also ate his way through the living room door as she shut him in the kitchen when she went out once! All the way through!

He was a german shepard cross, not sure what with!
He was always chewing, usually anything that belonged to my Ds He was also very protective of him though!

Our pup started chewing my Prada shoes yesterday I don't have many pairs left that have been unmaimed and that are still wearable.

izzybiz, can you see a bit with the serial number on it? if so, the bank of england will replace it for you

Our dog has a bin-raking habit. Once he got a hold of a condom which had been wrapped in tissue and put in the bathroom bin. We had no idea. The next two days after he was sick, shaky, and straining so bad when he went to the loo that he yelped. I was very very worried about him and was literally about to phone the vet, when dh comes back in looking horrified having just taken dog out for umpteenth time. He was clutchin a poo bag with something in it. I looked at him in a horrified manner thinking that maybe he should have put poo bag in outside bin before coming in. He looked back at me and explained that he had had to pull item from dogs arse. Item was condom.
So glad I never phoned the vet! Could you have imagined the x-ray?!

Worse still, when my mum asked how the dog was, we couldn't tell her the real reason that he had been so ill. We just said it was a miraculous recovery.

Needless to say we moved the bin to a higher level.

Lol, glad your dog was ok!

My puppy chews all sorts of things. He ate all of the mail, including a pedometer that was sent to me. He also ate 2 of my daughters shoes. Not 1 pair, but 2 separate shoes so 2 pairs were ruined!

The worst and most frightening thing was when he ate the blade part of a disposable razor. It popped out the other end within 12 hours. I was convinced he hadn't eaten it because his mouth wasn't cut and he was still acting normally. I was shocked to
find he had swalled it after chewing it up into tiny pieces. We never kept razors at the end of the bath after that!

my dog only ever chewed one thing as a pup - the dining table.

My lovely labrador, when he was teething, ate two pairs of LKBennet shoes and most of my kitchen table's legs. Only stopped chewing wooden furniture when we laced it all with tabasco!
My vet told me to feed him cotton wool soaked in milk if he ate anything sharp but fortunately he grew out of it when his adult teeth came in!

Our Staffordshire Bull Terrier ate the turkey at Christmas once. DP and I were having the obligatory Christmas family row and didn't notice what he was doing. It was only hearing the ripping of tin foil in the hall that alerted us. Didn't care at the time as we were both too angry with each other to eat but we were hungry when we'd calmed down.

When I was a child we had a German Shepherd. The day we got him my Mum put his food in one of the heavy Mason Cash bowls. He finished eating and threw the bowl in the air and smashed it so she bought him a big plastic one. The next day after he'd finished eating she looked for his bowl to wash it up and it was gone. He'd eaten it. Cue expensive trip to the vet and the purchasing of a metal bowl.

The most expensive damage to date in our house, due to chewing anyway, has been by our parrot who recently chewed holes on both corners of one of the sofas.

One Christmas Eve our bearded collie ate a brand new very large tin of quality street, Christmas Day morning it was so beautiful in the garden, there was frost on the ground, and there was sparkles from the low sunshine, as the foil in his poos twinkled in the sunlight!!!
