We have quite a few animals in our house, but our old 1/2 Bassett 1/2 Beagle took the cake. He ate our X-mas tree skirt this past X-mas, also ate the blankets in his kennel, a couple catalogs (he preferred the upscale ones like LL Bean), and a set of mini-blinds. Not chewed, ATE. We found the pieces in the backyard afterward...

I feed my pits (actually my parents pits, they were confiscated) apples, carrots, celery, peanut butter, cheese, rice, cow femurs (the big ones were they're favorite), grapes, pears, and of course meats/dog food. The funny thing is that there are several fruits trees in the yard, and whenever they feel like it, killo jumps into the tree, bouncing his body against the trunk, and knocks fruits of for them. I used to wonder why bananas, figs, and other fruits were all over the floor, well it was cuz the terrible twosome wanted a snack.

my dog (greyhound) eats things like meat and pepperoni, and some viggies. loves peppers... and loves to eat grass. it gave her round worm twice.
my GFs dog (jack russle) eats EVERYHTING its faivorite thing to eat is its own crap. it will drop a duce, then go back the next day and eat it when no one is looking.... it kind of defeats the purpose of defficating if you ask me.

How about a battery ??!!?
My cocker was a BEAUTIFUL animal... sweet as can be with the kids and all...
but dumb as dirt and that boy liked to eat....
and ANYTHING hit the floor it was in his mouth if he was close enough to not have to move !!!
dropped the double A battery and swoop it's gone....
take him to the vet and he said check his poop for the next few days and if it doesn't come out - bring him back in....
Well, THAT wasn't a job for me - so my Ex-wife did that one !
and he passed it two days later...
fine for years after that
(I got him in the divorce!)
reckon that job contributed to it

When I was a little kid back during the first Stone Age, I had a beagle named Fuzzy. One day all the kids and dogs were playing in the back yard, when Fuzzy snapped instinctively at a bug flying by his face. Surprisingly, he caught and swallowed it. Unfortunately, his instincts were unable to distinguish ordinary bugs from bumblebees, and that poor dog ran in circles for about 20 minutes, howling like a banshee, before he fell on the ground exhausted. He learned lots of neat stuff that way, and by the time he died, he was one smart dog.

My Chessie Terrence used to pull lemons off the lemon tree and eat them, so of course he ate just about anythng else. My lab/pit Rosa will eat almost anything, not berries of any kind, though. BBQ'd things tend to upset her intestines, though.
And onions, not generally garlic (which is frequently added to foods), can cause something called Heinz-Body anemia. Its a little inclusion body that developes in the red blood cell. The infested cell becomes targeted for removal by the body, thereby being eliminated from the bloodstream, and robbing Fluffy of his number of circulating red blood cells.

My German Shepard will eat almost anything i give her. She loves pistachios, she even shells them herself and leaves the shells is a little pile 
When she gets an upset stomach though, she likes to eat grass.
Well, this past winter we had about 2 feet of snow on the ground for several weeks. She had one of those dog beds that you get at Wally World that has the cover that unzips so you can wash the whole cover. One morning I went to let her out and i notice that the cover of her bed is all ripped up and the whole top part is missing, about a 2 foot square section just gone. There were no shreads left, just gone. For over a week I wondered why she had done that and couldn't figure out where the material went, that is until the snow melted, and I found some pretty colorful turds in tha back yard. One even had the entire brass zipper assemly all wadded up, OUCH!

FYI Garlic actually is helpful for fleas. It gives the dog a "taste" that repels fleas, ticks, flys, and mosquitoes. The garlic actually eminates from the dog, and they are less likely to be bit by these critters.

my cocker spaniel was one hell of a birddog. or at least he thought so, as i have never taken him hunting. but he ran circles around the yard trying to catch a bird for ten years. about six months before i had to put him down he finally got one. it had died and fallen out of the tree and he pounced on it! so here comes my 14 year old cocker running into the living room with a two day old dead bird in his mouth. he comes up to me and drops it right in my lap! i jump up and grab a dust pan and broom and proceed to throw it away outside. when i turned around from the garbage can my dog was just staring at me with confused look id not seen before or since. it was as if he was saying," i hunt for ten years to get you a bird and you have the gaul to throw it away?!!!"
not really an eating story but i thought is was funny.
