What are Croc Shoes?

Croc shoes are a type of footwear made of foam. The shoes are made by an American company called Crocs, Inc. It’s interesting to note the shoes were first made to be boating shoes! The very first Croc was made in 2001, and all 200 pairs were sold out pretty fast!

These comfortable shoes come in a wide range of colors and styles. The classic Crocs look like clogs, with small holes on the tops. Not only are the shoes worn at home, school, and other places, but Crocs have also become the go-to shoe for healthcare workers!

While Crocs are safe when used as directed (that is, wearing them on your feet!), what happens if a dog eats a Croc shoe?

Croc Shoes & Dogs

Unfortunately, Croc shoes can be dangerous for dogs to eat. That’s because the shoes are made of foam. When the foam is chewed and swallowed, it can become a choking hazard. In addition, the foam can also clump together anywhere in the dog’s digestive tract and cause an intestinal blockage.

Symptoms of Intestinal Blockage in Dogs

You may notice these symptoms if your dog has eaten a Croc shoe:

  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Constipation
  • Tarry stools
  • Lethargy
  • Burping
  • Excessive drooling
  • Abdominal pain & swelling
  • Loss of appetite

If you notice any of these symptoms in your dog, then call the vet immediately. This is an emergency. An intestinal blockage can be life-threatening. So, don’t wait to see if your dog’s symptoms improve or worsen. He needs to see the vet ASAP!

It’s possible that your fur baby may require emergency surgery to remove the Croc shoe from his digestive tract safely.

The good news is that dogs who receive prompt treatment will make a full recovery! In the future, you may want to consider keeping your Crocs and other shoes in a dog-proof shoe cabinet, especially if your fur baby has a penchant for chewing up shoes!
