What's the worst thing your dog has ever eaten?

[LovelyLittleBitofSquirrel]

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!

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)

He had a bit of a water theme going, didn't he?

I can offer a sad addiction to cowpats. Yuck.

I also have a contender for Most Upsetting in my Mum's childhood dog, who ate the back end off a live tortoise because he was jealous of it :(

Poor tortoise had to be put down.

A soiled nappy she found in the park 🤢

In no particular order:

• a paracetamol that flew out the packet and was caught mid air
• several feathers
• a mummified rabbit (pulled off then got home and U turned 1/2 a mile to finish it)
• stole a full sprinkle donut from the 3yr old
• a whole tray of roasted veg
• horse 💩 (loads of)
• sea weed like it was sausages
• crotch of knickers
• a block of Stilton

Labs obviously 🙄🤣

@Chroomy I really feel for you there. I guess it's nature. Kind of.

I forgot the fish... Good Friday fish. 10 portions... In heavy plastic wrap. All unwrapped under the trampoline and eaten..
Apparently ddogs shouldn't eat raw fish....
Stressful Easter that...

Mine - all the pigs in blankets on Christmas Day

Relatives - cannabis cake found in a bush. Very expensive vet bill.

Childhood dog - the whole kitchen lino, a whole wicker conservatory sofa, half a door.

Labrador hahaha

😬🤣

Our greyhound was a great believer in the saying " if it touches the ground it belongs to the hound".

My daughter dropped her camera and a spring sprang out. He ate it. Swallowed in one gulp.

A very large chip pan full of cooking oil which was stored in a pantry inexplicably on the floor. He knocked the lid off and ate three quarters of the oil.
The result the next day was unbelievably unpleasant although he didn't seem to be overconcerned about what was occurring at his rear end.

Our cocker spaniel managed to steal two kebabs from the fridge whilst my back was turned..before I could grab one he had swallowed the other,six inch wooden skewer included.
Over a thousand pounds for surgery to remove said stick.
Kebabs banned from our house.
Dog completely fine and nuts

The culprit

My parents dog ate a sharpie on a brand new cream car pet

Terrier ate rat poison - stomach swiftly pumped at the vet

Spaniel a massive chocolate fudge cake and a vat of cream

Years ago when we had a gorgeous Greyhound come and join our family, he did this within a few days. I had to go to the vet daily that week for him to be checked on and me to be repeatedly told off 🤣
Another time,when we'd abandoned the just done supermarket shop to take our toddler to A and E after an accident, we got home to find the dog had bypassed many other goodies to eat 3 fresh uncut loaves (Greyhounds have bread in their feed mix when they are racing.)
Not even a hint of a belly ache!!

The contents of my Dad's food waste bin. Then vomited it back in the car boot on the way home- horrific stench. Weirdly he decided not to eat that vomit, unlike the first few times he puked in the car- by the time we stopped to investigate, all signs of vomit had gone!

Where do I start?!! Mine’s a lab x cocker spaniel with the appetite of a full lab.

• He’s partial to dead rabbits but has to roll in it first just to make sure he’s fully covered 🤦‍♀️
• an empty poo bag. I joked that his next 💩 would come out pre-bagged (it didn’t)
• fox 💩 (prefers just to roll in it too)
• a magnet - that involved a trip to the vet
• chewing gum - as above
• he’s ruined many a picnic for people by charging the best part of half a mile to nick their food (mortifying)

A rancid spider crab body on the beach one afternoon. It was a slow-mo "NOOOOOOO" by me, but too late, she'd upended it and necked the contents including seaweed and salt water like someone savouring an oyster. Too late.

We were woken by the stench of her diarrhoea at 2am - it was the size of a bin lid on the floor. She was a very sad poopy hose for 48hrs, plus vet trips, injections and me WFH before it was a thing as I didn't dare leave her or she'd ruin the house and herself. She lost so much weight and she was a very poorly dog for a few days.

Didn't stop her eating a chicken carcass the next year when my back was turned. She lay happily on her back on the floor with a distended belly all night, farting, while I panicked and talked to my uncle who is a vet in Hong Kong. He said safer to let it go through than force it back out the way it came. Cue three days of white dog poop.

Not a labrador.

Dalmatian .

An entire roasting chicken , which she removed from the closed oven . She’d been here a week and we didn’t realise that she had worked out how to jump up, pull the door down , and grab it out of roasting dish , before fucking off out of the back door into our fields , with the wings flapping either side of her head . We got egg salad for lunch .

Then there was the day when I got a box of lamb for the freezer. Opened the top, she barrelled me out of the way , grabbed a palm sized chunk of bone for stock and swallowed it whole . Wandering round my vets lawn , with an umbrella and Dalmatian in one hand , and a washing up bowl to collect dog vomit in the other , was not how I envisaged spending that Thursday afternoon in the pissing rain.

This - so many times - although she doesn't eat it and swallow it fully we just find her chewing on it with a string hanging out of her mouth - I always try to remember to put the bathroom bin up high that week but I forget occasionally- it's so disgusting!

When my cocker spaniel was a puppy she ate an unknown quantity of grapes. Turned out to be one single grape. We thought she'd swallowed a healing crystal. It turned up winking at me behind the sofa later on that day. Both separate incidents happened on Sunday and required vet trips to have vomiting induced. £260 minimum vet fee each time, plus an x-ray to see if the crystal was lodged inside her.

Ugh, I've had a few lovely experiences like this with my springer 🤢 last one I am actually not sure what it once was, but I do know it was slimy and did not smell good. Even the JRT backed off and she usually takes anything of interest away from the springer because she's a possessive little turd and the springer grabs what she can and lets her take the rest without a fight.

Springer is generally very inquisitive but if it's not interesting doesn't bother much, jumped up on the side, grabbed the tea bag jar, emptied them out around the kitchen but didn't even tear one of them. Likes my spoon holder, often find that in her bed, the odd tea towel or the dustpan & brush. Doesn't chew, just collects. Unless of course it's dead and disgusting 🤮.

JRT once ate half of one of the big bars of Cadbury dairy milk, tense night, brown projectile vomit and a large vet bill later and she's nearly 16 and fit as a fiddle for her age. I still have stains on my carpet that are covered with rugs.

1. A pop sock that we had to pull out of his bum
2. All of the beautifully wrapped chocolates under the Christmas tree, then proceeded to vomit and pooh all over the new cream Loaf rug.
3. Loves a cup of tea or coffee. Don't leave yours unsupervised.
4. The kitchen floor lino (as a puppy)
5. A whole pack of lurpak, that was a good day.
6. Vomit. Their own or the kids. They aren't fussy.
7. My used ear plugs
8. Toilet roll. Used.

Sometimes I wonder how I continue to share a house with them.

Several used tampons at once 🤮 which he then proceeded to throw back up. Chocolate numerous times, bones, any kind of food really. The one thing that set me back 1l in the out of hours vet was the jalepenos that he went into the bin for 🤦‍♀️

• part of a sheep carcass including maggots
• a dirty nappy
• a huge Xmas trifle
• 15 mini packets of Haribo
