SquirrelDog has only eaten things like discarded paper or packaging when out and about as a pup but now is A Very Good Girl <holds breath and crosses fingers>
But my friends tell me tales (tails?!) of their precious pups eating the family roast dinner off the kitchen side or half of the living room wall plaster 😂

Share your stories please!

About 5 fabuloso cleaning wipes that were covered in spilled lemon posset. We didn't notice until she puked it up 24 hours later 😳 luckily she was fine and my partner has since learned to not half ass a cleaning job!

Forgot that middle springer ate a poo filled nappy

SirSidneyRuffDiamond · 11/12/2024 17:01

And current slinger ate a dead pigeon which was not dead when he started the process

OAPapparently · 11/12/2024 17:02

Most of my sofa. Absolutely destroyed it.

shellyleppard · 11/12/2024 17:02

Omg some of these...... I'm so glad I have cats 🤣🤣

@SirSidneyRuffDiamond 🤢🤢

First springer:
Part of a drowned sheep
Part of a dead seal
A whole drowned rabbit (its stomach popped as he bit into it and the smell was from hell)

Middle springer (who learned to open cupboards):
Entire roast leg of lamb (while it was resting)
A bag of flour
2 walnut loaves (at the same time)
1kg pasta
1kg raisins (that cost about £300 in Vet fees)
A stone (that cost about £2500 to remove)

Current springer:
Half a toad (I thought it was a bundle of grass until I grabbed it to remove from his mouth) 🤮
A daffodil bulb (£300 treatment)
500g Hotel Chocolat chocolate which was on a shelf 5ft from the ground! (£500 treatment)
A wheel of Stilton (complete with wrapper)

Reading your lists, I'm resisting the urge to sing
...and a partridge in a Pear treeeeee

but I fear someone may come along soon and actually say that 😆

Honestly, I don't know whether to laugh or cry reading these 😂

Mine has only eaten bog standard stuff...sweets on the ground, etc. But is a devil for finding discarded apples and ice cream cones thrown in bushes.

The worst he has done is try to eat a chicken that laid green eggs (cost more to replace than if he had attacked a chicken that laid normal coloured eggs apparently!).

mondaytosunday · 11/12/2024 17:10

Years ago a boyfriend sent me two dozen Cadbury crème eggs in a box (like the one you find near the till). We put it up pretty high. Dog got up there and ate them - wrappers and all. Same dog also ate a whole chicken that was resting on the oven door for a minute. Same dog also ate about three pounds of sugar (my mother used to decant the sugar into a big ceramic jar and the lid broke), same dog also ate a whole loaf of bread and wrapper.
No ill effects. He was a rescued stray. He was also quite the climber. A real character.

KnigCnut · 11/12/2024 17:13

We have variously had:

Children's pants or socks
Salmon terrine
Barbecued butterflied lamb
Mince pies
Own shit
Cat shit
Human shit (left by travellers in local park)

Hungarian vizsla. Supposedly a picky breed. She used to jump up onto worktops and help herself to anything and everything.

Mumistiredzzzz · 11/12/2024 17:14

An elastic band which I suspect the bloody postman dropped on our drive like he does on half the road... Got stuck in his stomach and ended up extremely sick!! Narrowly avoided an operation

DominoRules · 11/12/2024 17:18

@SirSidneyRuffDiamond I’m on my first springer and he has surprised me with how greedy he is, they really will eat anything 😂

Most memorable have been -
Cat poo whilst it was coming out the cat, we were all traumatised by that one
A whole selection box including packaging and wrapping/ribbons
A fair few dead birds and rabbits
He loves a mouthful of cow pat as he runs past

Upside is it’s easy to give medication as he just eats whatever I give him, I don’t have to hide it in anything

boulevardofbrokendreamss · 11/12/2024 17:20

Where to start...

a decomposing rat
a poo out of dts potty that was there for a second while I was dealing with the other one
babybel wax that I had to 'manually evacuate'
A pop sock (do they still exist) also manually evacuated
The whole piece of fat from the top of a sirloin, big one, he was tony, it was christmas. Managed to get it off him but he sprayed father in law's walls with diarrhea

And to add, his own sick. He used to bolt his food, puke it up and then eat it again.

Tracystubbs · 11/12/2024 17:22

I don't own a dog but ds's rescue dog ate a bowl of pasta,I'd left it on the arm of the sofa
My bloody lunch and I was staving (he thinks he's staved all the time)
Mad dash to the vets as I googled and tomato is meant to be poisonous for dogs
He was fine-just farted a lot

(He also ate the foil from some Christmas sweets and a packet of crayons-his shit was very colourful for ages,both times apparently)

A friends dog-he noticed she was struggling to pass something orange
He managed to get it and pull
A sainsburys carrier bag

Another friends rescue dog shat out a lot of small bits of tennis ball
While we where meant to be looking after him-that was an awkward phone call to his owners (they laughed and said he's a sod for it)

(Same dog ate a lid off a pringles tube he'd found in the bin-god knows how much he swallowed but seemed ok-he tears apart coke bottles regularly)

Another dog,who belongs to the same owners,Drank a half glass of Guinness
He was 100% fine-just stumbled about a lot and threw up-the vet said to keep an eye on him

(Why their owners think we're fit to look after their dogs,I do not know)

All staffies apart from the last who's a doberman

You've got to love a springer!! Mine ate my then toddler daughter's poo off the carpet whilst I was going to fetch cleaning things😂

my dachshund also did this many years ago. the poo was roughly the same size and shape as she was

Mathsbabe · 11/12/2024 17:23

Oldest cavalier likes jig saw pieces and reels of thread. Made to throw up by the vet when he went through my bag and found the 70% dark chocolate.

Daughters cavalier a couple of weeks ago spent all day vomiting and an hour before due at the vet a piece of string came out of his mouth. 2 meters later we cancelled the vet though he pooped string the next day.

Last week he got on the table, when DH popped to the loo, and knocked the tin with 24 home made mince pies in it off the table, knocking the tight fitting lid off. My DH was able to save 7 mince pies with 17 unaccounted for. Judging by the inevitable output at the vets he ate 14 mince pies while older dog got a couple and his younger, and shyer, brother got a mouthful, 2 raisins.

My daughter's dog was weighted before and afterwards and he'd thrown up 600gm of mince pies plus some dog food and regained his waist.

LovelyLittleBitofSquirrel · 11/12/2024 17:28

I've just remembered when she was a wee pup, the local playing fields were having their lines repainted.
She snuffled along after the machine like she was sniffing a few lines (!!!) but as it was blue chalk, she ended up looking like a bloody smurf 😆

Omg some of these...... I'm so glad I have cats 🤣🤣

One of my cats is as bad as some of these 😂

He ate two full tupperwares of chilli that I’d left to cool on the kitchen side and shat sweetcorn for about 3 days. No diarrhoea, miraculously.

The worst was when he came into the kitchen gagging, and promptly threw up the remains of at least three baby birds. The smell was AWFUL.

SirSidneyRuffDiamond · 11/12/2024 17:29

And I have now remembered that first springer ate a slipper. He was struggling to expel it from his arse so I grabbed hold and pulled. It was like a magic trick as it was still in one elongated piece.

I have sworn off springers in future...

BeachRide · 11/12/2024 17:29

Half a bucket of tadpoles. Then threw them back up into said bucket and killed the rest. Traumatised the children!

Pleasesaynothing · 11/12/2024 17:32

Cat ate and vomited up a dead pigeon, could make out internal organs in the sick. Ds discovered it and added his own vomit to the pile at which point dspringer decided it would make a lovely post walk snack.

DH dry heaving while phoning me to come home urgently as he could not deal with the situation and still has nightmares about it.

CrepuscularCritter · 11/12/2024 17:32

Labrador

Half a roast joint of meat, and the associated gravy. The plate was so clear, we each assumed the other had put the meat in the fridge and washed up. Labradishwasher.

A cardboard tissue box. The tissues were laid in neat rows on the floor.

A sock. Only discovered when he was straining to pass it.

At a party, a slurp of someone's rum and coke they had inadvertently placed on the floor. Cue much panic and advice sought by us, but he was fine.

Honestlyhonee · 11/12/2024 17:32

Howling at cat poo coming out of the cat 😂
This is making me feel so
much better about my girls obsession with cat poo 😅

shellyleppard · 11/12/2024 17:32

@WetBandits dear god I can only imagine!!!! I used to have a gorgeous ginger boy who was a prolific ratter. He left one under the trampoline. Guess who ran it over with the lawnmower??? 😁😁 God I miss that cat 😺

Tracystubbs · 11/12/2024 17:33

I forgot about my old childhood dogs-I would have been a toddler at this point

My parents dog was a mix of just about every breed going and my grandads dog was a jack Russel

My father would make 3 sandwiches,cut them in half (so 6 smaller
sandwiches),wandering off for a pee and come back to 5 half sandwiches

He blamed my mother for playing a joke on him,my grandad and us kids all got the blame too

We all denied it so he laid a trap of walking away as normal but not actually going into the bathroom

The bigger dog leapt up,snatched her sandwich and shared it with her bestie-two swallows and it was gone

Bloody seafood sauce sandwiches (an inch thick in the bread,knowing him)-bork

He kept them well away from the side after that

Same dogs both ate a chocolate birthday cake they'd knocked off the side (this was the 80's so nobody thought to take them to the vet)

The bigger one brought in (and both scoffed) frogs,mice,a hedgehog and a dead seagull

Didn't even touch the sides with them two-both lived to a ripe old age
