The most common thing that a dog might eat while trying to get your attention is a belt. It may look like the dog was simply scavenging for something to eat, but it’s possible that the dog saw the belt as a treat or toy and decided to take a bite. If your belt happened to have holes in it, the dog may have been able to get inside and eat some of the material. This can be dangerous if the belt contains metal spikes or other sharp objects. If you think your dog ate your belt, remove any sharp objects first and then contact your veterinarian.
