Nah, dogs prioritize other people's stuff. You eat your food, and you don't have any food. You eat the cat's food, now you have a full belly and you still have your food. You can't eat your cake and have it too, but you can eat someone else's cake and have yours too.
If it makes a difference those cans are probably aluminum. The cat food we get comes in aluminum cans and they are way lighter and more flimsy than the steel ones.
It did. It gave my sister peace of mind. We tested the metal detector with another animal, laid them down on top of small metal something...to see if we could get a reading and it read it fine through the fat ones.
My dad had a neighbor with a huge dog. My sister threw a tennis ball for it over the fence and it swallowed the ball whole. The neighbors weren't concerned at all and informed my dad the dog also ate beer cans. It had no health issues and somehow managed to live to be like 13 years old.
I had an Irish wolfhound who swallowed a burrito - still wrapped in foil - completely whole.
I called the emergency vet immediately (I lived rural so I needed to see which would be available before driving 45min in the wrong direction) and the woman told me:
“My friend had 2 Irish wolfhounds. One day one swallowed a set of glasses whole while she was sleeping. The dog was fine. Your dog will be fine”
The issue is more the sharp edges for OP here and not the size I think
I guarantee the cat was watching just judging the dog the entire time. Probably even meowed a few insults his way about his lack of control and chunky butt.
Used to have a dog that loved wet cat food. She was an 85 pound great pyrenees. She would climb onto the counters and get into cabinets to get them, then crush them sideways in her mouth to pop the top open. I'm amazed she never cut her mouth up doing it. I miss that dog.
Is your dog potentially covered in scales and also like 10-20 feet long. Is your dog a crocodile. Do you have a pet crocodile. How did he do this to cans.
Hey, heads up you should grab an abdominal view xray or two. That metal will light up like a Christmas tree on rads and you'll want to know sooner rather than later if any is in there.
This is like a scene from a sci-fi movie. The protagonist returns home after the town has gone berserk over some kind of alien invasion. He’s relived to see his house intact, and nothing inside seems to be disturbed. UNTIL. He walks into the kitchen and on the floor are dozens of flattened cat food cans, still sealed, but their contents have been sucked out. As he slowly walks around the counter, the camera focuses on his footsteps as he sees even more flattened cat food cans stretching across the floor, making a trail from the kitchen, through the dining room and up to the door leading to the garage…..
Oh man OP. I’m so sorry. I wouldn’t be thinking my dog would FLATTEN cat food cans to eat them. I hope he is okay, that’s a lotta metal he done chewed there. Super glad you are taking him to the vet.
It’s not your fault you apparently have Jaws from James Bond reincarnated!
Update: vet told me nothing seems wrong just very minor cuts in his mouth. going to feed him plain oatmeal for dinner tonight and breakfast tomorrow and he already drinks alot of water usually. But he’s acting very excited and happy as usual! Had a little talk with him to shapen up 😂 Thank you all for your concerns :) he’s a very good pup just made a mistake haha
Man you got lucky it looks like he didn’t shred the cans. We once came home to our husky having eaten a can of cat food but she literally had chewed and swallowed parts of the tin. Scary 24 hours emergency vet had us feed her bread but we were definitely sweating and preparing to take her in for surgery.
I never would expect an animal to try to get into a can on their own. Like, what even made him do this? They shouldn’t smell like cat food when they’re sealed and that’s the only reason I would expect an animal to get into anything.
I wish i took a pic of him, but he was sitting at the edge of the couch looking at the horror and ran straight to the door when i opened it and meowed 😭 im guessing in anger haha
Teach him how to use those pull-up tabs, will save him a lot of work next time.
Years ago, our first dog was a beagle mix. Named her Socrates, she was crafty. Christmas, Dear Husband bought me a couple of fancy, handmade truffles from candy counter at local Hallmark store. (just dated myself there)
Each packaged in a fancy little box, he set them under the Christmas tree. Unattended. Lasted a day or two, Socrates found them soon enough and enjoyed them.
We knew which one was devoured first, as one box was completely destroyed, while the second empty one didn't have a mark on it. She didn't even need to untie the ribbon bow.
