Bonkers For Conkers, Well Coco is not me.

Does any of your puppies do this.

As we walk in the park Coco seems to love to chew on the conker shells, I am forever removing them from her mouth and throwing them away then she almost chokes herself trying to run after them.

Oh and today she did the same with the conker.

Came back and gave her, her tea and she just looked at me, perhaps tomorrow I will chop up some conker and add some shells for roughage and present her with that, only joking

conkers are dangerous to dogs, you have to be very careful! If dogs manage to swallow one, they can cause a blockage!

I think I also read that conkers are poisonous to dogs, I'll have to look it up.

Ooh thanks for that I never knew that they was poisonous to dogs. Its ok I am on to Coco as soon as I see her pick it up but i will be more vigilant and thanks to other poster who suggested taking treats into park with me, I'll certainley give that one a go.
