So, I came home from work and couldn't figure out why Hazel smelled like a fish, or almost like baby desitin!
She hadn't been to the pond, or even in the woods.
Much to my surprise she found a bottle of fish oil caps (vitamins)
and apparently helped herself to the bottle off the table and ate the last 4!!!!
This dog is so mischieveous!!! She now is so shiny it is unbelievable!!lol
So-no harm done thank god, but now when you pet her shes super slick.
Your hand slides off her long body....

Oh my word! That is so funny. I would love to know what they're thinking when they decide to get into odd things. Of course you get that innocent look from them implying they did nothing wrong.

My guys ate a whole 5-pack of certs mints the other day. I figured if it did not kill them they would have minty fresh breath.

hahaha! It was the weirdest smell ever!! I thought someone brought over a bunch of desitin!! she has also eaten a whole kit kat(king size)....a few cell phones,remotes...she seems to have a taste for the good stuff that costs me alotta money!!

lvnMattie

That is too funny!! Some of the things they get into. When Mattie was a puppy she got into the pantry and helped herself to the cooking oil. She was playing the the bottle it comes in. Cause she loved playing with water bottles. The kitchen floor was like a ice skating ring. LOL!! Let's just say after that child proof locks went on the cabinet doors!! LOL!!

With that notes, I have a question.. Usual commercial fish oil product contains Retinol (preformed vit A). Should this raised a concern for a dog? I knew that Vit A can be poisonous when consumed too much especially since Retinol is fat soluble type (meaning that the excess cannot be excreted via the act of urination or defecation).

Omg my Gracie is the same way. She steals potatos out of the bag. She chewed a Tylenol bottle... not the pills just the bottle. She tried to eat a garbage can lid. Plastic is her favorite. I have no idea why. Its funny but im afraid she will hurt herself. She is better now that she i almost 3 but she still gets into trouble lol.

Never thought about it, but just did some research and found this

"Because vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that is stored until needed, it is possible to give your dog too much vitamin A. Too much vitamin A is considered to be anything over 113,600 IU per pound of food consumed on a dry matter basis according to Doctor Foster & Smith. For vitamin A to be toxic, that dosage would have to be given daily for months. Muscle weakness and bone abnormalities may result. Toxicity is uncommon but should still be considered when feeding your dog foods rich in vitamin A."

I called the vet, they said the 4 pills would be no harm done.
And she does occasionally steal my potatoes too!! Ill find it on the floor chewed up and have no idea what it is!! Than you ask her what she did and she goes rigid and flat on the floor...lol

Miss Snickers

Yeah, Snickers has been on this kick lately of stealing the insoles out of her Daddy's shoes. It's kinda gross! Plus she steals water bottles, (full or empty) and the other day, my husband was making a sandwich, and when he turned to get someting out of a drawer, guess who helped herself? Kinda made me giggle!
