What do your dogs like to eat?

I thought I'd start a thread about the weird, wonderful and sometimes downright disgusting things our four legged friends like to eat.

 

Tango is a bit of a vacuum cleaner and will eat pretty much anything and everything. However she has a particular fondness for mouthfuls of fresh (it must be fresh!) horse poo snaffled out on a walk, and she also has a peculiar liking for tomatoes, which she pulls off my plants in the garden :evil:

 

So, what do your dogs like to eat?

We had a (diabetic) labrador years ago who was incredibly poorly and had, what we thought, was blood in her wee. The vet couldn't work out why the usual wee tests didn't show a problem until we realised that she'd eaten a whole bowl of cooked beetroot peelings which had been left to one side to cool before going in the compost. The "blood" in the wee was beetroot staining and the resulting poorly tummy wore off in a couple of days! :roll:

Scally once at an entire family bar of dark chocolate that DD had left on the side in the kitchen ready to make a cake. We had to induce vomiting (dark chocolate is very toxic) and when she vomited it turned out that she had also stolen a half loaf of bread. It looked just like Delia's chocolate bread and butter pudding :lol: She stole a dried granary bread mix a few weeks ago and used to regularly steal the tubs of fish food it was really annoying :shameonu:

If cats are allowed in this thread, I have one that loves raisins (he isn't allowed them) and anything containing yeast. He steals bread if he can and likes wine.

 

His real favourite is beer - he will try to wrestle a bottle from your hand or will climb onto shelves to lick the head off an unattended pint. Normally he doesn't jump or climb as he's 9kg and just too heavy, but the smell of ale will make him do unusual things!

We were at a friend's BBQ a few weeks ago and had taken Tango with us. We discovered she has a taste for white wine after we found her with nose stuck in a glass lapping away :shock::lol:

My last dog ate a ball of scrunched up silver foil once (no idea why) ... we were getting quite pretty "gift wrapped" parcels from the other end for several days afterwards ... :roll:

 

I thought about your post earlier Bramble, as I found Tango attempting to ingest a ball of silver foil out on our walk this morning.

We occasionally have people camping with tents/motorhomes on the sports field in our village (where lots of people walk dogs, as it has a public footpath running through it) and this weekend's lot had obviously cooked over a fire last night and helpfully tidied their rubbish away into a bucket (at least they tidied it away I suppose). However, the foil must have had bits of food still stuck on or at least smelt foody as Tango grabbed herself a piece and ate it :shock: Blasted animal teased me by letting me get just within grabbing distance of her then running off so I couldn't take it away from her. Thankfully it wasn't toooo large a piece so I'll keep my fingers crossed it will pass through without causing any problems...

Okay, so today's scavenging involved emptying the contents of the kitchen bin all over the floor and eating any tasty morsels that may have been scattered :roll: I know for certain that the mouldy end of a loaf of bread has gone missing from the bin but goodness knows what else she has also eaten.

We left her on her own for ONE HOUR! Normally the kitchen bin is shut away while we go out but on this occasion we forgot - slapped wrists for us!
