According to the Veterinary Pet Insurance Company (in the US), policyholders spent almost $3 million treating cats and dogs that ingested foreign objects in 2010!!
What they did swallow?! Christmas ornaments, a tent door, a frisbee, a tampon, and a bikini were among the items pets found tasty in 2010! A bikini?!?! haha
