The chocolate thread got me thinking about my boyfriend's King Charles who is just the greediest little dog. She is a little terror, nothing remotely food like can be left out or she'll eat it.

I've been told that if she finds a pack of chewing gum she will bite each one and then spit it out and move onto the next.

She's also eaten a human poo :o in the woods once and was quite poorly afterwards.

The worst my dog has ever done is pull a piece of string of a fabric and eat it. I had to remove it from his bottom as he was very distressed.

So what's the worst thing, food or otherwise, your dog has eaten?
 
Oh my goodness, how awful! That must have been a shock! My dog loves anything with a brush so I can imagine him eating something like this if we weren't careful. Glad he was okay x
 
A first edition, beautifully hard-bound copy of one of my favourite books - it was like a work of art. Reduced to rubble.

My much-loved, much-admired red leather Radley bag with the grey stitching . . . I've searched all over eBay and can't find another one :(.

We're SO careful now! You have no idea how relieved we are he was fine, especially as he was only about 12weeks old when he did it (he's 16weeks now :cute: ) and we hadn;t realised (bad owners :( ).

Tiny bit OT, but my mum lent a friend one of her favourite books, nothing too special, but hard to find. She got it back covered in parcel tape as the spine had been broken and pages started falling out. :confused:

How scary! How did they eat it in one go? :(
 
One of my bull terriers ate a library book called "Just be Yourself" and another swallowed a whole live blackbird.A dose of washing soda got the blackbird out again intact but sadly quite dead.

He swallowed it whole (pic is actual size!) but it was a few weeks before they found it :eek:
First they thought it was a virus as there was no sign of it and he was still quite bright
Then he had an abscess on his side where it had come out sideways, however the abscess pushed it back in again.
Finally it came out where his belly button would be - he had this very red, angry looking lump - so they took him in for exploratory surgery and finally found it.
 
I had just ordered a take-away. The door rang so went to answer it. In the time I was away, my year old bc type consumed TWENTY hot and spicy cooked chicken wings! I was very lucky that no harm came to her. Think she felt quite sorry for herself afterwards though- dogs and spicy food do not mix!

One time mum left a glass of wine on the floor which she carefully drank down without any spills also. Mum wasnt impressed.
 
My partners dog seeks out his mums tobacco stuff. He will open the draw to get to it and just chew it up and gob it all over the floor. He chews up her filter tips, the papers etc. Anything to do with smoking he will have a munch on. Think hes trying to tell her something!
 
Oh . . . I forgot the time Tilly both rolled in and consumed a large proportion of a deer carcass . . . the way she smelled after rolling in it was NOTHING to what came out of her - both ends, in the manner of Mt Vesuvius for about three days afterwards. Oy. We did take her to the vet who said as long as she was drinking water she'd be fine . . . but oh my goodness she suffered.

Omg,brokebuthappy..that was a lucky escape!
Ok,my sister's rescued lab cross ate a whole tub of butter once and more than once stole used tampons out of the bathroom bin and ate them...bleurgh!! My ESS ate nearly a whole packet of dried muesli out of a kitchen cupboard...he was not very well or happy at all and looked like someone had inflated him:-/ (A bowl of muesli is hard enough going to eat with milk on but...dry?!? And nearly a whole packet?!?) ESS also used to eat any mice he caught...little snacks to keep him going between muesli feasts,obviously...;))
 
Not so much consumed, more gnawed round the edges -my fathers Jack Russell. My fathers false teeth. They were still considered functional by my father after a quick rinse under the tap-bleugh!
'Nuff said.
 
My lurcher ate a whole 6 pack of mince pies last Christmas, including the tin foil holders, plastic tray and cardboard box. I was so panicked especially about the tinfoil, but she didn't even seem remotely uncomfortable and after a couple of days I decided it must have all passed through OK!
 
Our 12 week old Border collie pup managed to get hold of and chew on a block of rat poison! :(
With heavy snow on the ground and falling like mad too, it took us an hour to do a 20 min drive to the vets. Fortunately she is car sick so threw up on the way and I presented the vet with the results of this on our arrival. He was thrilled (genuinely) and proceeded to check it for signs of the blue poison.
Fortunately she had not ingested much if any and following several large Vitamin K jabs and a week of keeping her quiet, she was fine.
 
Well, there was the time he ate 1.5kg of rubbish from the bin (resulting in surgery and a £1500 bill!). Or then there was the human poo. But I think the worst was the raw sugar beet the size of his head. Did not make for a good start to the day, dealing with the aftermath of that!
 
My collie x terrier came in to the kitchen one day whilst the vet was on a routine visit for cows....and the vet said to us...
'Your dog is going green.....I think he is gonna be sick!'
And he was......he sicked up the back half of a very dead toad all over the kitchen floor....he sniffed it.....made the most amazing bad taste face...and promptly left the house...
The smell was unbelievable :)

When I was 16 my Yorkie somehow got to quite a high shelf and devoured a whole Terry's Chocolate Orange :eek::eek:. I'll never forget the strangely floral smell when I opened the front door. She was OK, I hasten to add, but went off chocolate ;)

The cat, in the meantime, swallowed a strand of lametta off the Christmas tree which only came to my attention, er, on its way out. And it took its time!
 
My long boots, cost an absolute fortune & irreplaceable as standard sizes don't fit. And a playstation remote. My then husband had been moaning about one being missing, I only realised when it came out the other end in lots of pieces. Possibly the worst was when I had treated myself to a chinese when I was skint, left the bag on the side to go & sort crying baby, & came back to find it gone. And at the time stuff like a takeaway was a monthly treat.
Other dog consumed a large two layer box of Thorntons chocolates, with no side effects except not bothering with dinner.
 
A Fly Agaric Toadstool, which resulted in a frantic dash to the vets, then he refused to vomit even after being given morphine, but the worst was a whole bag of bird peanuts, including the bag and a fat ball. The vet didnt have any liquid parafin when he couldnt pass anything, and non of the chemists sell it as it's too dangerous, so I ended up ringing my horse vet for some, collecting it, administering it, then he still ended up having an enema the next day when nothing happened!
 
When my mother and her partner got together, he didn't realise how gluttonous my beagle was.
He left a big block of Cathedral City cheese on the side in the kitchen.

Went to Tesco, came back to find whole block of cheese demolished. Apart from me watching the dog for any signs of an immediate cardiac, he was fine but will never forget mum's partner's face of shock and horror and Max just chilling, if he could smile he would have looked like the Cheshire Cat! :D

My old dog (Heinz 58) used to eat sheep afterbirth or something very regularly, and get herself like that every week in Spring! She used to spend two days in bed with her stomach bloated and making horrid noises, throw up vile yuk, do digusting poops, then a day later, when she felt better, go out and eat another one!:(

My biggest lab broke into the chicken feed and ate a load of chicken corn, which popped like popcorn inside her when warm, and we came down to a load of "pop-up" poop all over the kitchen!

We rescued our second lab, and were told he had eaten all his papers, which we we scoffed at, thinking he didn't have any, but he has eaten anything paper he gets his chops on ever since. He specialises in credit card bills! In his first week with us he ate a library book with a yellow lab on the cover, just like him. I had to take it back to the library and pay for it. The librarian said not to worry, it happens a lot, and the funniest one she had had chewed was "how to train your dog"!
 
When I visited friends, they suggested I could kennel my setter in a shed over night.

Next day, when walking in town, the dog laid a large fluorescent green turd which attracted some rather incredulous looks from passers by (until I'd scooped it up and disposed of it).

My friend is a farmer and the dog has eaten a stick of raddle. That's the waxy paste they put on a ram's chest to mark the ewes as it covers them!:D
 
Mine have never eaten anything too bad...

But one of my Yorkies is addicted to carrots. He'll steal them any chance he gets. I even caught him digging them up from the garden and eating them.
 
Nothing! I can't think of anything mine have devoured, my akita began gnawing on a dead cat that she took into her kennel, obs thought it was a nice prize to take to a snack into her lair.:D
 
i cant pin point - he's eaten way too much.....



sponges....


boxes......


my cheesecake (little **** even had the cheek to lick his lips while i was yelling at him!)


My dinner....twice now (on the worktop..he's getting taller)...



My trainers....literally killed them.


tissues he eats regularly... (think andrex puppy... and then munch it)


cotton wool pads (we normally stick fingers down throat and fish these back out...)



Thats a tame week normally..... both dogs played tug of war with my thong yesterday however :o
 
Blimey, some of these are excellent!!

I once had a yellow Lab in for training. She was called Honey, and she was hopeless. One morning, I let all the dogs out of their kennels, and they all went off to empty themselves, in the orchard. Down the bottom of the said orchard, I saw Honey "At" something. I bawled at her, and as she was looking ever more guilty, I ran down after her, to arrive just in time to watch her finishing off, and consuming the remains of a hedgehog which she'd killed and eaten, spines and all!!

I worked with a 'keeper, on a large Estate, who had a whippet. He was having breakfast one morning, and was watching his dog through his kitchen window, whilst it was straining to have a dump. When he'd finished his meal, and his second mug of tea, he noticed that the dog was still straining, and noticed something of a trail. He took a pair of pliers, took a grip on what was "hanging out", and with persuasion, the dog parted with a complete and entire set of his wife's tights.

He divorced the woman.
