I know what it's like to live with a dog who eats everything and anything-it's a disorder that requires vitamins as well as keeping everything up.
Why would it be so hard to keep a house clean, food on the tables etc?
I have 3 kids & 3 dogs and lots of guests on intermittent basis.
I have to keep things up-my house by no means is spotless or sparse.
I also cannot beleive how lackadaisical some people are.
If you are going to eat do it in the proper place.
Keep objects in their proper place...unless we're talking a one time accident, dogs chewing cords or on furniture it's all about effort IMO.
It was admittedly difficult to train the kids to keep items up so we now use a baby gate to keep Princess Monster out their rooms-she will eat stuff the kids can't be expected to never play with toys she can fit in her mouth.
Yes I have lost a grape under my kitchen cabinets and my Scoobers ate it-it happened once I learned.
A friend works in rescue one of rescues chewed on an acorn and died that night while they slept...she felt so awful she almost stopped fostering.
Accidents happen effort can drastically eliminate them.
I'm most concerned with people seeking internet advice and self inducing vomiting in dogs.
Perhaps some people need to invest in a play yard and use that when they have guests to protect their dog. |
