Strange things your dog chews.....

Davy

Caught my lab chewing on the handle of the brush of a brush and dust pan set. He took about an inch off it the fecker, didnt swallow any bits thankfully.

Made me think, what strange things do your dogs find to chew?

His ****e.

When my Jack was a pup I woke up about 2am one night to find her happily eating my very expensive mobile phone:rolleyes:

Apart from that it is anything plastic she has a real thing for those big hair comb things, and loves the handle of brushes, her ultimate favourite though is plastic bottles, no idea why.

My big guy will eat anything... including rat poison little sod, that cost me a few bob

Max (staffie) always ate sticks from a young age but never actually swallowed them, give him a plank of wood and he is content for hours chewing and spitting it back out again thus saving me a fortune on Chews and toys !

My dog doesn't really chew things, but what she'll do is kind of chew duvets, though not so much chew, she doesn't rip them or make holes or anything, she just seems to kind of suck them like a child would with a soother, thats the only way I can describe it really, its like a suckling instinct and she'll do it for ages, quite gross really but it seems to comfort her so I'll let her at the end of the duvet sometimes.
Its bloody weird though, she's at least 6 years old now and I haven't heard of other dogs doing it I think its maybe because she was taken from her mother too early, we got her from a rescue home, so don't know for sure. Other than that she doesn't actually really chew anything thank God:rolleyes: My Aunt's dog though, chews pretty much anything:pac:

Anything plastic! ... DVD cases, car keys, dustpan set, modem, plugs!!! (he ate one still in the socket!!). Other chewed remains found hidden in his hideyhole (under the blankets in his bed) purse - including cash and cards, carving knife, several of the cats collars, peace lily, shoes, leads, bra's, contents of bin, newspapers, books(including my 'dog training for dummies' book), can of febreze... the list could go forever.

I'm glad too say this is now a rare event saved for special sulks - I think it was just his way of trying to become the boss in our early days









You probably guessed already....labrador cross:rolleyes:

My springer does that sometimes too, not very often these days thankfully, but when we first got him and he was very stressed (he has an awful background) he would drag the quilt downstairs into his bed and suck on it for ages :rolleyes:

Remote controls, couches (yes, plural!), doors, shoes, jackets, books, toilet rolls are very popular as well , collars and once a leather saddle . Not one dog alone but a succession of dogs . Oh and car seats as well as seat belts and a Great Dane chewed off the door of the washing machine .

I had a dog who ate through the wall! Chewed a bloody big hole through the plasterboard and was trying to eat the bricks too. Nothing would stop her from doing it. She also liked to nibble on the press doors in the kitchen, and the bars ont the stools. Loved stones, the bigger the better, and she was a digger so the more we threw away her stones the more she would dig in the garden looking for a replacement.

My present dog is mad about tennis balls-she rips off the green fluff with her front teeth, usually gets a big lump of it caught in her bottom teeth so she ends up looking like she's got a mad tash! She'll carry on with the ball until its completely stripped and then loses interest!

Our Yorkie chews the lid off plastic milk bottles, licks out any of the residue and then throws the lid around for awhile!

I Had a dog (Gypsy, mongrel,). She used to love to eat my toenails. Every time she would see me cutting my toenails she would sit at my feet and salivate. Every dog Ive ever had had their own eccentricities.

My dogs don't really chew things but my new puppy will steal things and take them away to chew. She keeps stealing the brush from the dustpan and brush too! They live outside but I have a dustpan and brush there for the guinea pigs/rabbits runs and it always disappears. She also loves chewing the kittens' ears, the other dogs' ears, people's ears and even the guinea pigs' ears :rolleyes:

Mobile phones

expensive and dangerous taste

I'm currently babysitting 2 rotties and one of them is panned out on the floor beside me with the tinest little rubber duck sticking out of her mouth.

Might be a good idea to take it off her!

My dog GS bonnie went through a phase of chewing the heels of my stilettos! very VERY frustrating! she even managed to get at a pair that had'nt even been worn :eek: Thankfully, that phase has now passed!

I've a lab cross who likes chewing the branches off small trees, arms off wooden patio furniture and his new favourite is a plastic Robinson's Orange bottle.

well my dog was very bad as a pup...

he has eaten:

a light bulb (ended up in Vet for 3 days)
Brillo Pads
numerous shirt collars
bottom of EVERY press door in the kitchen
bottom of zips on jackets
skirting boards
he used to lick stones in the garden occasionally ate a few of them... ended up with the VET again.... poor guy had to be flooded with lazatives... lucky he passed them naturally
parts of a our deck...

the list is endless... thankfully he is no longer into chewing

Apart for stuff he is allowed to chew of course!!

One of mine bites her nails.

My springer cross loves chewing on sods of turf. He'll chew it and then spit the turf out. I've found the crumbs of turf all around our yard and even in the fields around our house. He loves the stuff, just loves it!!

Cherry Blossom

Ears and toes (peoples and dogs) the carpet, vet bed :rolleyes:, stones, the bristles on brushes, coal, zips and velcro, shoes (of course), socks, the baby's dummy (usually with the other side still attached to the baby ) anything wooly or fleecy, bits of horses hoof left after the farrier's been.

Paper. Anything at all made of paper. She pulls off little bits, chews them up and spits them out.

If I leave any post within biting distance, it's usually grabbed and torn up when my back's turned.

My Yorkie likes to chew things that fall on the ground.
Surprisingly, she has never chewed furniture or anything like cables or phones!
When she was very small, she tried to eat broken glass :eek:

She chews cardboard, peat out of plant pots (scatters it around the place) little sticks, leaves, paper, lids of things, cuddly toys, and sucks on her blanket in her bed too at times. Socks are her favourite though, if you are trying to put in a load of washing, you'll drop a few bits on the way and she'll have a collection of socks around her when you turn around! :cool:

EverybodyLies

No really chewing, but my dog likes to pull the little hairs out of peoples arms. And he'll chew anything even remotely plastic/rubber

I have a new one today, an LCD screen from a phone. Lets just say he got to the post before i did!
