Toothpaste

Active poison: Fluoride

Yes, many doggie toothpastes included fluoride as well . . . but in small amounts. Pet toothpastes are made to be edible; remember that's why we spit our own toothpaste back out into the sink when we're done brushing!

I'm glad to know that other dog owners have dogs that dig in the trash looking for tampons and q-tips. My dog is the world's worst about digging out q-tips. I learned to buy the tampons with the cardboard appicator and I don't have the tampon issue anymore. It is pretty icky though.

Yoga, its kinda gross but very true! My last dog used to hunt down used tampons/pads out of the trash. Once I was hanging out with my bf when my dog came over with a "new fetching toy"! which the dog the gingerly dropped in my bf's lap. The next day I bought a trashcan with a heavy lid.

I'd say tampons/q-tips should be on the list for out of reach items (used ones that is!). My female dog loves anything with my scent - she rubs herself all over my bra, underwear, armpits of clothing I've worn, even the towel I use to dry off. I used to wrap my used tampons and throw them in the trash until my pup discovered them. Once she discovered them in the trash, I would catch her looking in the bathroom trash can every time it was that time of month for me. I now carry them down to the kitchen and throw them away in a trash can she can't get into. Disgusting I know, but I can't help she loves me that much ;-) At least that is what I tell myself since she has no interest in anything with my hubby's scent.
