I have recently joined the feet nation band wagon. I have the plastic covered with fleece, but my chin pulled up the fleece and chewed the plastic shelf. I will keep a close eye on her in case it causes a blockade. What should I be looking for? Is there anything I should do besides watching closely and figuring out a new way to cover the plastic?
 
When our dogs first ate plastic, we were really worried about them too. Turns out, animals tend to past hard objects pretty well. I think its twine, string, and thread that tends to get caught up inside of them. She should be fine, but watch for signs of straining, abnormally colored or shaped droppings, or lack of droppings. As long as she goes to the bathroom regularly then she should be fine. You may see some plastic in the droppings, but this is normal. I've seen it before in animals that got something they weren't suppose to.

I hope this helps. Best of luck!
