Location: Where Governor's make the liscense plates | Monday my mom calls me to check if I left our little aussies gate unlocked on purpose I said no I hadnt been home yet- Come to find out she was left out of the cage and ate a tampon while waiting for us to get home. She's puked once, just bile and had a loose stool, shes currently at the vet getting a barium series to check for an obstruction or anything abnormal. Anyone have dogs who eat weird things? |

| I have a heeler that eats rocks. Compulsively... She will be running full bore and flip ass over tea kettle to eat a rock. Not just any rock though, they have to be exactly the right size, nothing over 1/2 to 3/4 inches and are usually pumice. I have talked to the vet and they said there is nothing I can do but keep a muzzle on her. I tried the muzzle thing and she figured out how to lick them up through the wire. I know one day it will kill her.

Location: Montana | My dog chewed up part of one of my mom's sandles, he's eaten paper and parts to a tennis ball, unknown things that he grabs before I even see them, and he has been fine (we've had him about 5 years). He's eaten parts of his toys and kleenex and a whole bunch of stuff he's not supposed to have that he gets into any ways. He is a Boston Terrier, though, I don't know if breed makes a difference. . |

Location: Texas | We had one dog that would eat the crotch out of dirty underwear.
But our current dog takes the cake on weird stuff. He was dumped on our county road about 6 years ago as a puppy. In that time, he has eaten fire ant bait (as in coming right behind me and lapping it up like candy after I dumped it on the mounds), D-Con (mouse poison), sprinklers (at least 3), hoses (I lost count), pvc pipe, extension cords, wooden steps, house siding, and who knows what else. It was to the point that if I got home and that dog did not meet me at the gate, I was going to find something he had destroyed. I wanted to kill him for the first year of his life. Then it was like a switch went off and he became a good dog. Wouldn't trade him for anything now. |

Location: stray dump capital of the world | My husky ate the collar off my border collie. It caused an impaction and she had to have surgery. In visiting with the vet, he told me that he has pulled some pretty bizarre stuff out of dogs, but some of the most embarrassing items were fishnet stockings and thongs. He said the thongs for some reason are always red and he always returns the retrieved items to the dog's owner. I was sooo very thankful it happened to be the collar off the other dog in my case.

Location: MN | If she gets to them, my GSD eats the laces of my husband's boots and fingers off his gloves. Which is a heck of a lot cheaper to replace than the two pairs of boots that the mutt pup has eaten! He just eapts the uppers and leaves the foot.  |

Location: Where the pavement ends and the West begins Utah | Our labrador swallowed and small jack ball, small enough to be lodged and cause a blockage. Your dog will be OK. And the other dog swallowed a sock and took a week to pass it. See my siggy. |

| I have a pit bull cross of some sort that showed up here two years ago. Oh the list of things he has successfully eaten with no repercussions other than laying on the floor that night moaning because his belly hurts.
entire bag of unused coffee grounds
the box for my engagement ring
entire pack of index cards
the economy size box of packs of gum
unopened box of tampons approximately 1/2 of them he ingested 1/2 he just chewed up
Bar of soap
3 or 4 full suit cakes
chocolate... I walked in from the barn to him standing on the kitchen table (all 100lbs of him)eating out of the candy dish, he ate all the chocolate covered pretzels and reeces cups, at least he has good taste.
finally he ate almost half of a 30lbs bag of dog food, he never vomited just laid on the floor with a very bloated belly, burped often and did a lot of whining.
I don't know how he doesn't kill himself eating this crap all the time.... |

Location: Heart of Texas | My dog eats some weird stuff, she has a cat litter box fetish. My son as a toddler was worse than any dog... I shall not elaborate on this. I'm sure poison control is still laughing at me.

Location: TN | My parents' dog just recently had to have surgery to have her stomach emptied out after she pigged out on the neighbor's garbage. Apparently the neighbor threw a bunch of old food out in their yard because the vet pulled out 5 pounds of lemons, green beans, black eyed peas, etc. Since when do dogs like lemons?! lol Poor baby is much better now.
My beagle chewed up and ate part of a foam dog bed once. She had a belly ache for a few days. Olive oil on her food helped to loosen it up enough to finally come out! I was really worried she'd need surgery.
My corgi is bad about trying to steal/eat dirty underwear - as a puppy he would sneak in my roommate's room and steal her bras! He never bothered mine but he loved hers! (She was more gifted than I in that department so I guess he liked the bigger size!) At the time my other roommate had a beagle who loved to get in the trash - I think she ate a tampon or two, but never had any trouble passing it. |

| You're not the only one with the weird dogs. My aunt's oldest mastiff likes to eat the crotch out of dirty underwear too and will eat socks whole which are later found in his poop. They have to keep their hampers up and covered! Their younger mastiff got into the trash and a ate a corn cob which got stuck in his intestines and he unfortunately died :( My little 10 lb mutt? He likes to feast on cat poop, lick underwear, and worst of all...lick my grandmother's overweight Basset Hound's anus. Yeah. I've had to break out the spray bottle with vinegar in it...NASTY doggies  |

LOL...I used to work at a vet's office and some of the things people's pets eat was pretty amazing. The most unique thing that I've ever seen ingested was a My Little Pony. The client also emailed us a picture of the "safely passed" object 3 days later. My own dog, a 7 lb chihuahua, managed to eat a 4lb roaster chicken off my kitchen table. A WHOLE chicken that almost weighed as much as her!! She was sick for 3 days and could barely move. Literally.
The vet also taught us that if you NEED to make your dogs throw up (and apparently children, too) you can feed them a teaspoon (for smaller dogs) to 2 tablespoons (for larger mutts) of hydrogen peroxide. It makes the stomach foam and the pet will vomit the foam along with whatever they have eaten as long as it was recently ingested and still in the stomach and not in the intestine. |

| Oh boy...........
I've had/have several dogs who were vacuum cleaners for the weirdest things.
Lab - He ate rocks and LOTS of crayons. My backyard was a rainbow of colors more often than not (if you get my drift!) LOL
Mini Dachshund - She eats frogs, bugs and lizards. If she can catch them. She also ate one of my little sponge earplugs one time. The kind that swell up when they get wet. I was afraid it would "grow" inside her and create a blockage but it came out in one piece. A much LARGER one piece.
Doberman - She is a power chewer and eats anything that isn't nailed down. I have to make sure she is well supervised. She ate her own nylon collar one time. I had a "pet sitter" staying with her for a few days and her collar mysteriously disappeared (minus the end buckles and leash ring). Took it about 4 days to come out, but it did finally make it. In pieces with the longest one being about 3 inches long. She sleeps in a big wire crate at night (in the house) and I had to buy a special indestructible crate liner/bed (soft) that is guaranteed to be "unchewable". So far so good........... |

Location: MD | Years ago we had a black lab, Rotti mix that we called Bonehead. That dog ate all sorts of things, but the two that stick out in my mind most were when he ate an orange Koosh ball (y'all remember those?) and the time that he ate a deer hide that was stretched on the side of a shed. That dog had the fuzzy craps for weeks! |

Location: SE Louisiana | While I had my GSD/Wolf hybrid, I was trying to quit smoking with the gum.... when outside I would just spit it out on the ground. One day I was sitting outside watching the hummingbird feeder and I noticed she was chewing on something... As I watched she spit it out and I saw it was a piece of my gum..... She pinned it down with a paw and grabbed part of it with her front teeth and streeeeeached it out... Just like a kid playing with a piece of gum... I really miss that dog.. She made me laugh like no other pet...

Location: Texas | Other then cat crap which is her favorite thing in the world... My Doberman has eaten an egg crate, multiple dog beds, an entire crib sheet (she left the elastic though), socks (sometimes just the toes of the socks). She eats sticks, doesn't just chew on them... she eats them. Golf balls, she chews up and eats, she got ahold of a softball (the big yellow ones), and by the time I found it in her bed there was nothing left but half of the core... I assume she ate the rest. We have multi-colored dog poo all over the yard. I am surprised she made it to 5 years old, I thought for sure she was going to eat something that would be the end of her by now.
The oddest thing I have seen though.... She was chewing on something in the livingroom one day. I told her to drop it and about 5 pieces of glass came out of her mouth. After inspection, it was a light bulb. I don't know where she got it, or why she was eating it... but she was very happy with herself.
She is no longer allowed to have bedding in her kennel because she just eats it, it would be different if she just tore it up...but things disapear when they go in her kennel. They also don't get toys anymore either unless it is something that I bring out only when I am playing with them. My poor Boxer loves his toys, never chews them up, just carries them around and sleeps with them... then she comes by while he is asleep and murders his toys and eats the evidence. They do get bones, and once she starts chewing bite size pieces off they get thrown away. They have 1 bone that neither one of them have been able to chew up, they have had that for over a year. One tough bone. It is odd though that of all the things she has chewed up, she has never been one to chew shoes, furniture, or any of the normal things that usually puppies want to chew on. Just things she thinks are hers. |

My dobie is the same way! Any piece of dirt, paper, anything that is in the floor he will eat! Just to eat it! And he tears tiny pieces off his blanket and eats them... but if he doesnt have a blanket he cries... and cries... and cries... and wont lay down. He is good about giving me whatever it is he usually has in his mouth though. if I see him chewing on something and I holler at him he automatically stops and tries to hold his mouth shut because he knows Im fixing to come pry it open and dig around lol |

I have a black lab with a cast iron stomach because she WILL NOT THROW UP peroxide no matter how soon you get it into her. I tried to get her to do that this summer after she ingested some rat poision and nope....same with activated charcole but man if she drinks water too fast then it's everywhere.
As for what the monsters have eaten: 90 day supply of dad's high cholestoerol medication (don't worry didn't hurt her), some excederin migraine...again no effect, chocolate (milk chocolate to be exact)....fit as a fiddle, rat poision TWICE....fine, socks....no issue and more that I can't remember. Our choc. lab ate a potato that gave him a belly ache for a couple of days before he passed it and LOVES paper towels and the empty toilet paper holder. He will sit there and stare at it while you are doing your buisness. And lets not forget frozen poopcicles.....only their own though no one elses....idiots.
