My female labrador (xbreed) gets about 45min exercise everyday, still she has chewed(partially ate) every single toy we have bought and is now onto eating her kennel and the small sheet cloth we put inside.
Yesterday she threw up and we found out several objects like: plush toys eyes, duktape, usbdrive, cloth and doghair.
How can we come to an end to this kind of behavior.
Any suggestion is well appreciated.

Firstly I would suggest possibly taking your dog to the vets and getting a full physical health check and blood work done. Sometimes diseases can cause a scenario called "pica" where animals eat unusual objects.
Let me know how you get on,

sometimes the poop is solid and sometimes is like a big formless splat...

would have to take her to the vet and get all the results in.
we'll keep you posted. please don't close this thread.
