I polled a bunch of Urban Dog readers to find out what was the weirdest… most alarming… craziest thing their dog had ever eaten. There were many responses like: “A WHOLE steak!” … “Carpeting!” … “Shoes!” … “Six red velvet cupcakes!”
And then there were these responses:
- Wall Paper. Off the wall itself.
- Frogs. Five people said frogs! (One said a toad. Apparently the toad was poisonous and the toad-eater was “never the same afterwards.”)
- A Box of Brillo Pads. And apparently the dog suffered no consequences!
- A Skate. The fish. Not the shoe with wheels on it. (See above!)
- Socks. This required post-consumption surgery. The dog is okay.
- A Cell Phone. One of the old flip-phone varieties. Apparently this dog pooped numbered buttons from the dial pad.
- A Trachea. Yes. That was my reaction too! “A WHAT!?!?” Apparently dried tracheas are sold as a treat for dogs to chew on. This dog had to be taken to vet to have it removed. This happened just three weeks ago; the dog is okay.
- Fruit from a Gingko Tree. The poor baby who ate that got a really bad stomachache.
- Mouse Traps / Ant Traps. Those two are particularly alarming! All dogs involved are okay.
- A (Very Expensive, Custom) Mouthguard
- Chapstick.
- Lightbulbs. Yep! A whole tray of lightbulbs. Just the bulbs, the metal screw fixtures were left behind. This dog too survived unscathed!
