I should tell you some of the things that my pup has gobbled up before I even knew he had them!!!! But - he has survived and never had any problems. Seems like I am always taking something away from him. And, some of the things I find him chomping away on -- aren't even food.
Since I live alone and have no children -- my house is probably safer than most homes as far as the puppy goes. But, he is on a mission 24 hours a day trying to find something he can chew on or eat. If I ever hear the slightiest unusual noise - I run wondering, "What does he have now!"
It's a constant watch with these little guys. Right? I think he has had a bite or two of all the things dogs aren't supposed to eat. If I know he has done this, I watch him closely and luckily he has never gotten sick or had any problems at all.
I know that some little Yorkies have much more sensitive stomachs than others. So, this should always be a special consideration.
AND - fortunately since my puppy is finally passing through his teething stage, I am noticing a lot less chewing in general. His chewing is becoming more focused on the toys and things that he is supposed to be chewing on --not everything else in the house.
Good luck! If your pup eats something he shouldn't - keep a close eye on him. He may just throw it up (and may not) and most of the time will survive anyway with no real problems. But be ready........just in case!
