What's the worst thing your dog has eaten?

[LabDad]

The late humorist Louis Grizzard once wrote: "Labs are retrievers. They will bring you something to throw...and if you don't throw it...they eat it."
Duke was a typical Lab puppy. The day before we bought a crate for him I came home to find he had destroyed my bedside electric alarm clock...and it was still plugged in!.
I think I will create a new dog food for Lab pups would contain sticks, rocks, pillow cushions and cat poop.

Hmmm....that's a good question. Zeus hasn't eaten anything weird, just expensive stuff (like that's any better!). I think the most expensive thing he ate was a pair of brand-new $150 work boots, fresh out of the box. My hubby was fit to be tied: he wears a size 14-15 shoe, depending on width, and it's a miracle for him to actually find a pair that fits him.

AH YES

Teddy definately has THAT lab trait. he will chew anything he can get his mouth on. IF you don't catch him with it right away. Well I would have to say the strangest (and scariest) thing he ever ate was.... GLUE. It was crazy glue but thank god it was non toxic so we called the vet and he said since it was non toxic and chances are he didn't get much if any out that we should just make sure he drinks a lot of water throughout the day. Which is easy for him because he loves to drink out of the tub lol. I tought it was up high enough but apparently it wasn't. I don't know how he does it but I am not tall enough to put things any higher lol

All three dogs kill rats, but Kharma is the only one who eats them . . .

My labrador Virgil (we had him when my son was very small) ate a pound jar of vasoline..there is a whole story to go with the results of it...omg was that a bad bad scene..he had the runs all over the back inclosed porch..it was so much (he was a huge dog) that i thought well i would bring the garden hose in and try to wash it out the door to start with..when the water hit it all it did was make swirls but nothing dissolved or ran off..took me all day to clean it up then i went to work. It was hot summertime and i guess that smell atracted every flie in the city for when my husband came home he said the house was like ammityville horror..there was zillions of flies (we can't even figure out how they got in) so he ran to the store and bought cans of spray and then came home and used them. When i got home from work we opened up the house and you wouldn't believe it even if you saw it..we swept up flies into piles in every room..the dish washer had been open about an inch and instead of getting the flies out of there the husband just turned it on and i found little fly parts all over the dishes that had to be scraped off and rewashed by hand..even the neighbors came over to see. He never knew why the flies came..and i sure as heck never told him about the dog..he cursed that dog day in and day out..(that was until i found a new home for the dog and then he went back and brought him home) Virgil was something else..

Bronki ate a huge tub of oleo and then vomited it on my Mother's precious wood floors (the kind that are still paste waxed) it went from one side of the hall to the other and tho we cleaned and cleaned the boards still remain darker then the rest..at least it was in the dark hall..if it had been in the front room or the dining i might have been booted out for life.

Bin..Mary's dad ate the smoke bombs left over after the 4th of July..he had the runs of the most incredible colors..and he also ate 7 loaves of bread at one time..and had the howl and skitters in Jim's garage...
Bronki swallowed clothing that got stuck when he tried to eliminate
Maybe now i am glad Victor is a picky eater and doesn't like anything hehe

How about asking WHAT HASNT my dog ate

my house is still standing so that is good, but has chewed a few holes in the walls, and my banister

no electrical plugs which is good for her she would probably have some wild curly hair if she did

beds are still in tact which is good

granddaughters highchair sucumbed to her this morning so now have to buy a new one

my scarfs for winter are now part of her bed so well time to get new ones also

and the list could go on and on and on

BTW the she in this statement is none other than IZZY B

 

[sparks19]

yeah Teddy has chewed a whole bunch of my suff lol

shoes
blankets
pillows
stuffed animals
glue
pens and markers
various things out of the bathroom garbage can.
the list could go on and on lol

 

[Saje]

the grossest thing was that rotten fish. You know the one! It was a salmon that had spawned and died then got washed up on shore and fermented in the sun. And Nanook slapped me with it! I know, I'm still not over it.

 

[bigdaddyTank]

Tank has ate everything. Towels, dish rags, shirts, jeans, socks, underwear, blankets (I have found parts of these in the back yard), a bed set including two pillows sheets and blanket. Also, a couple books, cardboard box's, lots of mail (including bills), paper plates, a few rolls of toilet paper, roll of paper towels, half a gallon of Ice cream and the container, 2 jars of peanut butter (he knows how to unscrew the caps), wooded spoon, 2 spatula's, half a pan of brownies, a bucket with 2 dozen sugar cookies (last Christmas). Plus he chewed up my work boots. He did that because I was playing video games online and not paying enough attention to him. The scariest is the tennis balls, I have to watch him with those. My house is totally Tank proofed now, nothing on counter tops.
Here are a couple samples of destroying things, like a kennel and a crate. He went through alot of bad times before and after he came to live with me.
New Crate. The bunny is dead now, he ATE the head off it.

Kennel door - 2x4 3/4inch sheet of plywood, and some chain link

 

[MyDogsLoveMe]

hehehehe tank sure lives up to the name, looks like a army tank came through

1 Playstation 2, with a game two controllers: Roughly $350
Extensive blueprints to two of our houses: At least $500 each
A nice collection of books, ironically offering tips on training dogs NOT to chew: $50
My entertainment station (although it is not ruined, just heavily chewed): $200
Our entire laundry room, the walls, the door, the molding: $600?

My one-dog demolition crew: priceless.

Ripley did very little destruction as a baby, he rarely left my sight. (or my arms) He never ate anything weird.

Buster, I don't remember much as a pup. However, I do remember him eating a huge bag of Hershey's Kisses, foil wrappers and all, and having nothing out of the ordinary happen to him, aside from a bit of a surprise when we did lawn cleanup. Typical lab!

aint that the truth

I remember teddy stole a few mini reese peanut butter cups with the foil wrappers and he had a rough time pooping it out lol We didn't realize he had eaten one (or more not sure) but one morning he was having his poop and he was grunting and everything lol having a tough time and out came this little piece of tin foil lol typical LAB indeed

Omigaw... what great timing. I come home from work tonight only to find Hunter had broken into the spare bedroom where all the bags of unwrapped Christmas gifts were. He proceeded to root through them all to find that ONE delicacy... Grammy's BIG bar of Ghiridelli Dark Choclate. Well, I came home to nothing but a few scraps of paper/foil on the floor amongst the bags down and having been properly rooted through. I freaked thinking "HE'S GOING TO DIE!!! CHOCOLATE IS POISONOUS!" Well, I got on a health board immediately and found out if he isn't sick/dead yet, he'll be just fine. After reading this thread, I guess I'm lucky! The only other destruction he's done was to one of my black boots I bought in Scotland... and LOVED! I kept that destroyed boot and threw the good one out. Every once in awhile I just show it to him and he cowers away. I don't even say a word. So, hopefully, he won't be destroying high dollar items anytime again, soon... I'll leave that to my 2 freakin' cats that use my leather furniture as a scratching post. Hunter is just food driven... Sorry Grammy! One less present due to your GrandDog!!!

 

[thewhitewitchone]

OMG! The only thing Chyna has eaten is a penny. She kills her stuffies but I bust her before she consumes their guts. I watch her like a hawk to make sure she doesn't eat things she shouldn't. Yep, Mommy is overprotective.

[Love4Pits]

Considering my number of dogs I have seen a bit of everything eaten or atleast tried to be eaten lol.
Poop (of any kind my dogs airn't picky), Rocks, Chicken wire, dirt, sticks, couch legs, lotion bottle, chip bag, and other things I can't even recall.

 

[Gempress]

Have loved this !!! Wish I could add to it , but then I had Goldens !!!!

Well, here's a funny golden retreiver story. My golden retreiver, Tigger, as a 6-month old pup once ate an ENTIRE string of dried chili peppers. The string must've been at least a foot long. The poor thing had the runs all night, and for a good chunk of the next day. We couldn't leave her in the yard, because Tigger would cry and cry (she hated being "exiled") We had to take shifts staying up with her and letting her out. Needless to say, Tigger never ate chili peppers again.

 

[bubbatd]

Ah Gem !! That is a Gem !!!! I admit now, that Chip raided the cherry tomatoes on the vine. NOW!!!! As to HUNTER!!! Go to your room!!!!! Grammy's giving you 20 whacks with a wet noodle !! Not only will I not have my chocolate , your poor Mommy will be up for poopy attacks all night !!! She won't let me give you ANY treats here!!! Guess you get coal in your stocking this year!! ( Which is actually good for dogs...not the brickets, but from a fireplace)

Hanna, my yellow-Lab eats skunks, the front half including the head. She averages about one a week. My other three have each killed one, but they leave them alone now. I don't know if it's the smell or the bath they don't like. Good thing our rabies shots are up to date.

Mavis, my Doberman, likes to embarrass me by eating dead, rotting animals. One day at Dog Beach she dug up a big (two foot long) piece of fish and gulped it down just like that. A gal was sitting cloesby watching her boyfriend/husband surf and Mavis ate it right in front of her. The girl threw up when she saw it.

Black Lab Toby, and Dobie-Boxer Katie have been eating my Habernero chiles right off the plant. I thought after they had a taste of one they would leave the rest of them alone, but I guess they like them. Haberneros are so hot they burn my hands when I work with them but Toby and Katie will eat several every day.
