Fair enough, but why do you disagree, and with what are you in disagreement?

And he also eats anything. He particularly has a foot fetish and enjoys eating socks. I have seen him swallow a tube sock only to regurgitate it full of his last meal. We do our best to Dog proof our home but he does his best to find something to ingest. I have spoken with our vet on a regular basis and it seems this is normal for this cross-breed. Items preferred include: socks, dish towels, Kleenex, toilet paper, paper towels, and believe it or not ROCKS! This dog actually enjoys and will do his best to find any rock or pebble, and chow it down. The breed is very affectionate and does not have much aggression built in. With this in mind I have become very adept at removing things from his mouth and throat. One last bit of information that I would like to pass along that was very helpful. One evening Orion was "caught" consuming a Pencil. I wasn't too concerned with the contents consumed but the shape and size swallowed. When he was caught and I tried to retrieve the item "gulp" it went down. Blockage is the danger that I did not want to confront. Upon consulting my Vet, I was given two options for inducing vomiting. the first was salt water. A generous amount of salt within a cup or so of water should do the trick. But, if your pooch is the type to eat anything it's stomoch will probably handle salt water too. the second manner worked perfectly. One cap full of hydrogen peroxide in a Dixie cup filled with water. I recommend doing this outside as results are within a minute or so. open dog's mouth pour in. the amount of hydrogen peroxide is not enough to cause any harm but it will definitely empty your dogs stomach immediately. I am not a vet or a physician so this can not be taken as medical advise but in an emergency as in the pencil incident. it has proven extremely helpful. <blockquote><strong>Thank you for sharing this. It can be difficult to keep these critters out of trouble, can't it, spotless house or not! I had never heard of using hydrogen peroxide or salt until your comment. I'm glad to know about it now and will ask our veterinarian how that would apply to our dogs if it is ever needed. Mrs. N</strong></blockquote> I have a golden-doodle, named Orion.
