Your dog explores his world with his mouth. Your home may present choking hazards if you don’t dog-proof it carefully. The food smell from bones and food storage bags are tempting. He may chew on small human toys such as plastic interlocking blocks or other plastic playthings. Rubber bands and erasers are spongy and they feel good to chew so your dog may find them difficult to resist. Your dog could swallow string, twine, yarn or tape. These items may pass through your dog’s system but they could also cause an intestinal blockage that may need to be surgically removed. Take the time to dog-proof your home. Examine each area in your home from your dog’s point of view. Store anything your dog could swallow securely. You can suspect your dog has swallowed a foreign object if he is coughing, pawing at his mouth or drooling excessively. Work with your pet clinic Lakewood Ranch, FL to learn more.
