It’s dangerous because it teaches the dog on chewing furniture, doors etc., materials that are not healthy for them and can reveal very dangerous for their intestine, also for the size.
Cloths or cloth of jute, cotton, nylon or any other material of that kind, is even more dangerous because they send the dog in possession of these materials creating chewing confidence. If these materials are accidentally left unattended or accidentally found by the dog, they can be swallowed and create occlusions. That’s why unfortunately, there are many domestic accidents of dogs that eat the sofa, pillows, carpets, curtains etc. We have had other similar cases, in terms of learning, with puppies playing with stones when we let them play with them, because in fact the dog becomes familiar with a material that he would ignore in nature. On a learning level, this must make us think because we have never seen a stray dog go truffle hunting to survive. Because they are predators.
The object is not dangerous, but the possessiveness that the dog can create palying and learning with it, could induce the dog to eat dangerous plastic materials like bowls, bags, doghouses made of plastic etc
Dangerous in size, very dangerous risk of swallowing, can compromise the olfactory skills as it has the plastic molecule, it stimulates the chewing, it can generate the habit of chewing and ruin truffles in the mouth. It isn’t traceable to X-rays, there are documented cases where this has lodged for months in the dog's intestine to create occlusions, which also had the need for surgery, not always successful.
Because of its consistency many dogs ignore it, during the stimulus if movement is needed, most dogs also use the sense of hearing during the research, while the dog moves ears. To make it very dangerous, there is also the residual risk that it can open becoming sharp and if it used the tape to close it, it can deflect the smell. In addition, even if traceable to X-rays because it is a metal, it is also dangerous because it can be swallowed.
