What's the strangest thing your dog has eaten

First topic message reminder :

Every year when the walnuts are ready to be eaten I have a lot of work cleaning our backyard. Shoei and birds (especially the crows) don't like each other. Shoei always barks when they are sitting on our roof and tries to scare them . The last few days the crows on the other hand are sitting on our roof and are "throwing" walnuts towards Shoei . Sometimes the walnuts hit him , but Shoei doesn't mind it at all. He just shakes his head, takes the walnut, cracks it and eats it . So I was wondering if your staffy also eats strange things.

well staffies sure do have some strange eating habits cassie eats flies and moths and anything the cat has caught and left on the door step yuck

Rocco used to eat his own poop - how blooming gross is that!!

I was so annoyed with myself that I didn't gettheir in time -

Diesel has acutually eaten a sock - took him to vets and they made him vomit - didn't really want that sock back - even though the vet did ask lol

Ours also eat spiders - flies - cow pat - they are gross little pups

Mine LOVE walnuts! My cousins GSD also loved Hazelnuts in the shell. He'd crack them open, spit out the shells & munch away on the nuts.

The grossest thing was a dead turtle in the middle of the road... shell and all (extra calcium?) crunch.. crunch..

The strangest thing was a partially eaten powdered, jelly doughnut, tossed into the tall grass on the side of the road... I might not have realized (since it went down in one gulp) but for the powdered sugar that remained on his nose. I didn't realize he liked jams and jellies!

A used condom that was on the middle of the path. A mouse head left by my cat. Luckily he didn't literally eat them but took them in his mouth.

Ruby used to eat her own poo, in fact she ate some this morning whilst my back was turned and her speciality used to be snails! They are especially tasting from our front garden!

I'm gonna go ahead and say 'uncle' and bow out gracefully!
My dead turtle and jelly doughnut are looking rather trifle now!
Infact, I might just encourage him to eat turtles just to keep him away from worse stuff.

...and my baby is hardly four months old. What may he eat during his entire life...?

reggie likes woodlice and jelly bears,and the teens hair,quite good compared to you lot,lol,betty

If she still eats snails make sure her worming is up to date see post below

We spent £80.00 in April this year because our Vets thought she had caught lung worm from eating grass where snails had been and even mouthing a snail itself. Two lots of antibiotics later the snotty nose cleared up. I'm very vigilant nowadays and stop her from going anywhere near them. However it turned out not to be Lung Worm but a blade of grass that had got caught somewhere at the back of her throat and got infected. Any snails in our front garden now get chucked over the wall.

Mine eat mouldy, brown apples from the trees in the garden, I think they get them tipsy as they always do it even when it has a nasty effect on their stomachs!

Today I got a new sofa. While it was carried in I locked Sami into bathroom that he wouldn't be on the guys' way who brought the sofa. When I opened the door to let him out he was happily chewing - a toilet brush...

oscar once eat the tape out of a video luckly not too much but enough for it to have to be pulled out of his bum like string!!

Rocco has been known when he was a pup .... wait for it .... it is gross - his own poop absolutely disgusting

Fortunately - we have managed to stop him doing it now

That is sick ....

I have to do that with Bronx with long pieces of grass

Picture the scene...
hunched over a dog , with a poo bag over my hand,
cursing him for not chewing his food like a "normal" dog...

Kane will eat everything except salad!! I saw him eating a mouse in my mums garden the other day which really made me feel sick not sure if he caught it or if the cat got it 1st!! Halls soothers today, used to eat his own poo, likes rabbit poos now though, paper and just anything really that is on the floor - dont need a hoover anymore

hunched over dog!!! soooo funny

Ruby's latest - feather boa. And I'm still looking for my watch!?

Well it's neve just one of them. usually the cat steals it and then the dogs think it's fair game. Nick's toothbrush was the latest casualty! Hemi used to try and eat rocks when he was a puppy. I still think the worst was my couch though.

The first day i brought kesh home i was about to take 2 co-codamol tablets for my bad back,the fone rang so i put the tablets in the table and answered the fone...after speaking to my mum for no more than 1 min i turned round and my painkillers were gone and kesh had a cheeky look on his face.......cue a quick fone call to my freind(shes a vets assistant) and she assured me the kesh would be fine,he did sleep for 6 hours on the couch but got up none the worse for his ordeal.well except for sum constpation for the next 2 days.i learned my lesson after that

My T.V. cable. . . . twice!
