S/O - what random (inedible) things has your pet eaten?

Otto doesn’t eat anything he shouldn’t but he does steal socks for attention. Doesn’t do anything fo them, just carries them in hope someone will try to take it from him and end up playing.

Socks.. and when I mean eat.. he eats and poops it out. Thankfully that finally has stopped for the most part.. we are MUCH better not leaving socks out. And always scared one will get stuck inside him. But that mostly has stopped. I think it's only been one in the last six months.

Grass, Nerf Styrofoam bullets, a bath net spongy thing you put soap on, last night he got my son's dinner, and then blankets, towels, the siding on my house.

He's a St. Bernard.. thankfully he never was into my furniture, carpets/rugs, big ticket items. But if he can fit it into his big ole mouth you can bet he will try to eat it.

Socks, definitely! The chicken meat sponge thing, yup! Back in the day, I use to wear those sheer knee high socks to work. Those were a favorite. The middle of a couch cushion (although I'm guessing that he mostly just tore it up...didn't *eat* it). Similarly, the leg of a wooden dining room chair. Gotta love 'em, right?

Harper steals socks and dish cloths but has never eaten anything that’s inedible which is rare for a yellow lab. 

Our dog was pretty good about not eating random things like socks, but also we were basically paranoid after our first major scare.   We were cooking out on the grill and we were eating corn on the cob. We had the empty cobs sitting on a plate and she snatched one and took it to the other side of the deck. We thought "oh how cute" (yeah, dumb...) and let her have it. I mean, dogs can eat corn so why not the cob too, right? 

ugh.

After she ate the entire thing something made us google. Turns out corn cobs are indigestible. We actually waited overnight with me checking on her a LOT. Called the vet the next morning and she spent the entire day there having an hourly series of xrays to be sure the cob wasn't causing a blockage. Turns out that she "ate like a lady" to quote the vet....chewed her food properly. They could see the corn cob bits moving through her intestines. So her ladylike ways helped her avoid a blockage and surgery. sheesh

when he was younger, Prescott, one of our Shelties (he's about 33 lbs full grown) ate a couple of my DH's athletic socks.  And it went ALL THE WAY THROUGH HIM!!  We were sooo lucky!!  We had no idea he had done it till I saw it in his poop-- I think he had chewed it in half, so it was at least 1/2 a sock.  (I can't imagine what that felt like, lol)

Same dog also chewed / ate a couple pencils, and a set of fine-liner markers with metal tips holding the marker nib.  The white fur on his beard/feathers was green, orange, and yellow from the markers...  sigh.  I would worry about him having sharp bits of pencil, etc. in his digestive system, etc., but nothing ever happened.  I swear, his insides must have been made of iron.

One of the younger dogs we have now (he's 2 1/2, and about 25 lbs) has taken to chewing on my underwear...  even if it's clean!  He will even grab it off the drying rack if he can get ahold of it. (we dry most of our clothes on a drying rack that we set up in the spare bedroom.)  My DH actually called me yesterday and told me Kokopelli had dragged my pajama pants and wool socks out into the living room into his dog bed-- not eaten them, thankfully-- just wanted to 'have' them there, I guess.  I had to laugh, picturing what it must have looked like, seeing him drag a pair of pants across the floor.  

eta:  I forgot!  We got Kokopelli and Kachina fixed on the same day so they could both recover at the same time.  The vet tied their cones on with strips of cheesecloth, I think- tied into a bow.  Kokopelli ate the cheesecloth tie off of Kachina's cone TWICE, darn him!!  (that's when we found out about the wonders of Hydrogen Peroxide for making a dog puke!)  After that, I just put her collar back thru the loops in the cone. 

ooh, yeah- those, too.  Tissues and paper towels.  If there's pet barf on the floor, we will clean it up with Natures Miracle and put a paper towel square over the spot on the carpet till it dries.  Sometimes those paper towels disappear... and Kokopelli's poop later in the day is *MOSTLY* paper.  Sigh.  And the small wastebaskets can't be left on the floor any more, otherwise he'll eat the tissues. 

I guess he thinks he needs extra fiber, lol?!?  (it's no WONDER he told the animal communicator he had a 'gurgly tummy' when we talked with her.) 

The wall. Our golden as a puppy, just put his mouth on the wall and proceeded to chew it! The marks are still there and he's 6 now. Total it's about the size of two quarters and it's about knee height in a hallway, so not very noticeable.
One of his favorite things to eat are paper towels and paper napkins. I have to warn people that are over when we're at the table eating that he will snatch the napkin right off their lap.

Sophie used to chew up anything she could find, but hardly ever ate any of it. She did eat hair elastics and the green fuzz off all the tennis balls.

We have a chocolate lab who considers dog feces to be the most delicious treat on earth. Her own or her dog sisters - doesn’t matter. The fresher, the better🤮

Nothing we have tried will keep her from doing this. We just have to be diligent about picking it up every day.

Our previous chocolate loved to eat crayons which would create “rainbow sprinkles” poop.

My brother has 2 Golden Retrievers… the younger one is about a year old now and she has eaten not one, not two, but THREE remote controls. What is it about inanimate objects that makes animals say “hey, that looks delicious!” 🤣

My basset ate a rock - caused a sever blockage. Turns out the vet has had that happen so often that he had developed his own tool to help with the surgical extraction! I also remember my mom telling me about how their dog (before I was born) ate one of my dad's old "wife-beater" undershirts. Apparently they saw him struggling to poop in the yard. She went out to see what was going on and had to help kind of pull the shirt out. Get a dog they said......It'll be fun they said!! LOL!

Gus is a paper shredder extraordinaire, if you have any paper products that needs to be shredded in tiny pieces just leave it next to his bed at night , he does a very thorough job .
Kala destroyed my husband’s glasses when she was a puppy but since then nothing .

OMG Poor Bob Dog, that must have hurt.
