From a winning lottery ticket to their owner’s social security card and a stick of butter — here are the strangest things dogs have eaten.
A survey of 2,000 American dog owners asked respondents about their dogs’ diet: the good, the bad and the weird.
A box of tampons, the spackle on the walls and four television remote controls were some of the other crazy things dogs have tried to eat. And some dogs are getting into the holiday spirit: one ate a dove-shaped Christmas tree ornament. Another respondent said of their dog, “Anything she sees outside she will put in her mouth.”
Commissioned by Darwin’s Natural Pet Products and conducted by Talker Research, the survey found respondents have to stop their dog from eating something they shouldn’t every three days. And this peaks with puppies: when their dog was 20 months old, respondents had to be extra careful about non-food objects being eaten.
