Unsuitable food for dogs....

[EasyToEatTiger]

The pup really enjoys munching jerusalem artichokes. Size for size, she's eaten 2, so I would have eaten 20. Fart fart fart. One of the dogs ate 2 cream slices today. I was so looking forward to that. The pup has been eating a cycle helmet and I find loom bands coming out of her bottom. In an ideal world all our belongings would be in a giant hammock hanging from the ceiling and the dogs would be on the ground.

Mine tried to eat the shed* resulting in several hundred having to be paid out to the emergency vet.

*yep you read that right, it's not an autocorrect glitch.

DDog1 once at two brand new bars of this stuff in one go.

He had sparkly poos for days.....

That should read 'for shit that shines'.

My parents last lab ate a hole through a brick wall.

We should be getting a new lab puppy in a few weeks. I am starting to worry.

How's it going tiger?

Yet another reason to love my dachshund - he can't reach most stuff. Though he does seem to think waste paper bins are a sort of snack tray. Used tissues are best of course, favourite flavour (disquietingly) is 'nosebleed'.

Dh sneaks Murphy midget gems. You know he's done it because murph is sat in the rug chewing for England.

My DDog 2 chewed a massive hole in our carpet - and I had to live with it for months until we were sure he wouldn't do it again. The shame of having people round to visit still haunts me!

Ah, I feel blessed that mine don't eat things. The most damage they cause is to the occasional pair of socks and the odd blanket. I do often though discover they've polished off the new toy. Somehow that fluff passes through them ok.

One of ours especially liked face cream; Nivea by the jarfull, anything smelling of anything, lip balm, yum yum. Another dog got monstrously drunk by eating uncooked bread dough. I am really aware of the pup getting at bulbs in the garden. The flower beds are FULL of them. Because all our other dogs are old enough and sensible, I didn't worry about it, but the house is still fairly new to us and the garden is still full of unknowns. What should I do? Just dig everything up?

Try spraying where the bulbs are with Granny's Bitter Apple just before the dog goes out? Might discourage her from eating them? Is she a digger? Distract and firm no.
DH had a lab cross that would eat everything. Money, knitting, food inc fruit, drunk and swollen belly on raisins, there is a longer list but the one that sticks with me (delicate stomachs stop reading) was when she caught a baby rabbit. Swallowed it whole, we could see the tail and back paws before it disappeared in.... jeez actually she was My beautiful collie was caught eating cabbages growing in the veg patch, until then I worried about the size of our slugs! Many years and much experience later, our dog gets nothing but dog food! It's great. Except she eats the cinders from the fire after scattering them all over the carpet.....

mine comes running into the kitchen when I am cutting carrots, also when I have marmite on toast.
she gets a slice of carrott and the crusts from my toast.

she did swallow a bird once - yuck

Birds and bunnies are appropriate dog food raisins/grapes can be toxic.

Our late westie was a bugger for strawberries. Dh had planted a trug and was really disappointed that he never seemed to get any strawberries.
One day the westie came wandering in with pink whiskers. The strawberry mystery was solved.

We watched him after that, he'd inspect the trug daily and only ever ate the ripe ones. We had strawberries in that trug for the first time last summer and neither of us could bring ourselves to eat them

We had a GSD who ate the kitchen wall down to the brick in two separate places.

Boy boxer will eat first and think later,
DH has given up on growing peas and runner beans since we looked out the kitchen window one day and saw boxer dog work his way along the veg patch snacking on them

Sofa (full seat cushion shredded and eaten, neutering op had to be cancelled as he wasn't allowed to eat anything before)
Carpet (inches removed and a big 1.5ft tear), skirting boards (external corner chewed, thankfully no vets)
Numerous pairs of ds's shoes (including brand new never worn £50 football boots).
Lots of mail, including cheques from dh's customers.

Thankfully he's nearly 2 now and hasn't chewed anything for 4-5 months.

ghost ...one of ours used to eat the fire cinders!

Our second dog was an unholy thief, so as a result we are hugely vigilant about leaving stuff about.

Current dogs have mostly been good, Keller did destroy his toy basket...I came home one day to find toys and wicker everywhere, and he was sat triumphantly in the midst of it all. He also got hold of a whole tub of high cocoa content cocoa, it somehow had got left out in the utility room. We only realised in the dead of night as we heard him RAMPAGING about the house, the ground floor was covered in a fine chocolate dusting, so we still do not know how much he actually consumed, but that was hugely worrying and at the vets first thing

Zac ate my work shoes....he is a huge mamma's boy and has never eaten a shoe before or since, I think it was a protest. And he will occasionally take against a magazine or table mat, but not regularly enough for us to take preventative action! :D

My Doodle likes to munch holes in his fleecy blankets. Lord knows why but he likes a nibble when he's laying on it.

The Staffy?? Half a 6ftx6ft fence panel. He thought it was a great game to peel off strips to eat. Then he realised that it gave him access to the garden behind so chewed a bigger hole.
Now we have chicken wire across the bottom half of the fence to stop him getting his teeth into it.

Little Furry Bastard.

Brussels sprouts (raw) are a favourite with Eric. Cabbage leaves and carrots he quite likes as well. He would like a Yorkshire pudding but he's not allowed them as he guards them. The unhealthy stuff he's partial too is shortbread and squirty cream.

JRT pup likes to eat coal and the cinders off the fire. He's also partial to fleece blankets and socks.

Big dog has never been a chewer, but, aged 3, she ate a sofa I'd bought it, second hand, and she absolutely hated it; growling and giving it dirty looks. The first time I left her alone with it, she killed it in a big way! Very, very unusual behaviour for her and she's never touched furniture before or since. I often wonder what that sofa smelt of that she hated so vehemently!

The raisins with DH dog wasn't MILs finest hour. I was torn cos I wanted to give her a row but she was making cakes!

oh...insanity you reminded me...Keller loves lettuce, he will beg for it if you are making salad, Zac also wants a bit but will spit it out in disgust.

Keller also knows if we have prawn crackers, either take-out ones, or making my own, he WILL NOT leave the kitchen if he even suspects I am making chinese food. And there's not much you can do when a seven stone GSD does not want to leave the kitchen. :o

Icecubes...they only have to hear the icemachine going and they come running

And we have a cat who will beg for peas, green beans, broad beans and will eat the pods.

Sometimes I wonder if it is anything I have done to make them all bonkers.

Loom bands, beads, pens you name it, I've found it. Usually in my Chihuahuas poo. Seriously how can a chihuahua pass a fair size bead? The mind boggles

All the above are many good reasons why all mine / my fosters are crate training so can't get up to mischief when not being watched! (I'm home most of the time so theyre not spending hours crated before anyone worries / jumps on me!)

One of my is rather partial to the gooseberries in the garden, how she manages to get them without the spikes stabbing her (as they do me the bastards!) I don't know

*mine not my

Boy boxer rummaged in my work bag, pulled out a Superdrug carrier bag, ripped it open and consumed two big bars of chocolate and a family bag of minstels leaving the wrappers all over the carpet.

The only thing he won't eat (and he will happily eat a slice of lemon) is cucumber..
