Why is my dog eating my tampons?

Tampon-eating is actually a pretty common problem among dogs. It isn’t clear exactly why dogs seem drawn to these types of hygiene products, but it is likely due to the odor of blood and the way cotton feels in their mouths. Despite being a common problem, it can cause serious health problems.

How long will it take my dog to pass a tampon?

In some very lucky dogs, the tampon may be vomited back up again immediately, or be passed through the gut successfully and exit at the other end (after about two to five days), but there is always a risk of complications developing.
