Zed and Jenny with a ball AS I HAVE said many times before, we know dogs (and cats) love to eat all sorts of different foods and items lying around. Unfortunately, discarded face masks are causing a lot of problems just now, with vets having to operate on dogs to remove them, after becoming lodged in their intestines. We have yet to see this at Dunedin Vets, but I know many vets who have. Some breeds of dog are very food-orientated and eat anything. We all know an insatiable Labrador (my Lucy will eat anything; I’ve had to move her away from discarded face masks on many an occasion).
