What is the strangest thing your puppy has chewed/eaten?

Question

I have just found my 12 week old puppy chewing my sons hearing aid! He's eaten most of the silicone ear mould (I expect I'll see it in his poo!), chewed the rubber tubing to death & fortunatly ignored the actual digital bit. I don't know whether to laugh or cry!

Socks & knickers as well! I had to some new knickers last weekend, lol.

Buy some new knickers, that's what I meant.

My diary, the cable for my Home Hub, loo roll, towels, the kitchen door, a pencil, 20p piece, newspaper. Good job I love him, lol!

Answer 1

My puppy has chewed everything from rocks to 2'x4's. She chewed up the hot tub cover and our deck.

However the funniest thing chewed up was by her sister who lives with my aunt and uncle. She chewed up a book about training your dog how not chew things. The irony.

Answer 2

We have two wolf/husky mixes at home... if you know those breeds at all you know how energetic and intelligently devious they can be.
There was a time when my oldest, Ace, was living in another city with my brother. I got a call one day saying that while my bro was away at work, Ace managed to get into a Costco-sized tub of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. Yea, he had a shiny coat for a while... A few days later I received a similar phone call, this time Jason said he had somehow managed to unzip the couch cushion and pull the stuffing out. I found it so amusing that he ripped apart the couch and made a huge mess without actually destroying anything.
Zeus, the younger mix, has his own personality. Every night when we're watching a movie in the living room, he must feel ignored because he leaves the living room quietly and returns proudly holding one of the pillows off the bed in his mouth. His chest is puffed out and his ears pricked up as he walks into the living room, as if to announce, "I'm smart enough to know that this pillow will guarantee your attention... so let the game begin."

Not strange, but bloody annoying, she chewed right through the DSL cable this morning. I couldn't work out why I had no internet, I thought I've paid the bill what's happening here, look on the floor and the wire is in two pieces. Had to get a replacement as a matter of urgency lol.

Answer 4

A long time ago our puppy swallowed a whole balloon - i.e. without chewing it to pieces. It managed to fill up with stuff in his tummy and was a real problem for the vet to get it out from the other end!
Another puppy enjoyed hard-back books - I suppose she liked the glue. Her best achievements were The Times Atlas (costs more than £100) and a first edition book of poetry.

Answer 5

When our hound was around a year old, we had another dog that was in heat. We lock the hound in the basement by putting a plank of plywood accross the doorway. When we got home that night, he had "eaten"more than a half of it. I say eaten because we found no splinters or anything on the floor. He survived. Same dog, broke into and ate most of 4 boxes of chocolates one Christmas. He spit out the cream filled ones. Yeah, I know he should have died or at least gotten sick...but no.

Answer 6

my 6 month old springer had to have an operation cos he kept finding tea towels which we thought we had put out of his reach! he would chew them up when we were out. It was ok for a while as he passed them through, but then one day he refused his dinner and he had to be taken to the vets for an op to remove a length of teatowel he must have swallowed whole! it was a nasty op and would have cost us £700 thank goodness we had insurance! Unfortunately it was a separation issue which is being worked on, but then thats springers and most food orientated dogs. They will try and eat anything!

Answer 7

When my 12 old dog was still a puppy ( to me she still is), she was extremely hyperactive and anxious when I had to leave her on her own, as a result she chewed on a lot of things around the house such as :

The carpet
A brick wall, she slowly managed to grind a whole from the kitchen/living room to the bedroom which was just next door
The table legs and chair legs
Socks
Sofa cushions
A bar of soap
And the list goes on and on.... :-D

Answer 8

I had two staffordshire bull terriers from 8 weeks.

They chewed my dining room table/chairs, ate a puppy size hole through the wall between my livingroom and kitchen in an hour.

Got into an under the stairs cupboard chewed two pots of paint (green and yellow) and had a decorating rampage through my house and carpets.

They went into my room ate various clothes items as well as a certain vibrating toy, trailing the little balls and internal wiring around the house.

They were found an hour later in my baby daughter room in her cot sleeping on her blankets and resting on her teddies and didnt eat one.

After that we bought them a cage each for when we went out.

Answer 9

Mine chewed off a piece of linoleum in the kitchen. It is a mistery how did she get her teeth to grab it. But she got a good grip on it and tore a large chunk off. It became her favorite toy!

Other funny chewing trick is to start chewing on someone's shoe when the person is wearing it. You know, you're sitting with your legs crossed, she comes up and just starts chewing away at it.

Answer 10

My shih tzu pup will chew and/or eat anything he can find off the floor that he thinks we won't notice..I've caught him chewing on shoes, receipts that fell out of our pockets, water bottles (he actually likes empty water bottles more than the actual chew toys we'd bought from the pet store), eating random grass or weeds from the garden, his own fur balls off the living room rug, a fly that he'd somehow managed to catch and once...his own barf before I'd had a chance to clean it! I'm at my wits end trying to get him to stop. =)

Answer 11

In any given situation, focus on what you do want your dog to do instead of on whatever he’s doing wrong. Learn how to train your dog https://tr.im/p7n73

For example, suppose that on many evenings, your young dog gets busy looking for trouble just as you’re digesting your dinner. He grabs a boot from the mat by the front door and gallops through the house with it. You yell at him and take it away. He grabs its mate. You yell and take it away. He heads for the kitchen and starts checking out the counters in case something tasty’s been left behind. You chase him away. And on and on, until you’ve lost your temper and torn out clumps of hair you can ill afford to lose.
