hmm - 2 young kids here - very chaotic house- and my dogs have all chewed on things, legos are a favorite, followed by erasers and other soft rubbery things ...
My dogs have eaten all kinds of things too and ... they are quite alive and well ...
I am not saying that it s not important being careful .... but over the last few decades with quite a few small dogs I realized that most things are not immediately deadly to dogs ... my oldest pooch is 13 years old and has been chewing on every kids toy imaginable, erasers, gotten into the trash, halloween candy, grocery bags, has killed and eaten wild birds and mice- and nibbled on rotting stuff ( yuck!) his entire life ... he was a rescue and he counter surfs when nobody is looking - he is healthy as a horse - still running to the fence and jumping up chairs ...
I have given up on running to the vet every time they chew on " stuff". I have found all sorts of interesting things in poo ... crayons were a favorite here for a while ... to all those concerned ... not toxic and they pass right through ;-)
I think your chewy will be fine - chewing is sort of normal behavior ... my dogs love nylabones ( lego replacement) and rope toys and I give them fleece blankets to destroy in their special area and of course other toys they can take apart ... but NOTHING will be ever as coveted as a dropped eraser - sigh! ( they are also non toxic and pass right through even if ingested - same for the pencil graphite and wood ...) |
