You're right about pets and dental gear—it's oddly common. Ever notice how dogs especially seem to target retainers left on nightstands? Maybe it's the saliva scent or just boredom... either way, metal tins are a lifesaver. Glad you found something that works!
"Ever notice how dogs especially seem to target retainers left on nightstands?"
Haha, yes! My dog once turned my custom mouthguard into an expensive chew toy overnight. I think you're onto something with the saliva scent theory—dogs have such sensitive noses, it probably smells irresistible to them. After that incident, I switched to a sturdy metal container too, and it's been smooth sailing ever since. Definitely worth the small investment to avoid another costly replacement...
Haha, my cat once knocked mine off the nightstand and batted it under the dresser—took me days to find it. Pets seem universally attracted to dental appliances...maybe they're secretly plotting against our teeth? Glad the metal container trick worked out for you.
"Pets seem universally attracted to dental appliances...maybe they're secretly plotting against our teeth?"
Haha, maybe—but honestly, I think it's more about the texture or smell. Ever notice how pets go after anything that smells remotely like us? Could just be curiosity rather than conspiracy...
Could be curiosity, sure...but honestly, pets might just see mouthguards as oddly shaped chew toys. Mine once stole mine right off the nightstand—pretty sure it wasn't plotting anything sinister, just enjoying the unexpected treat. Thankfully, replacements exist for a reason.
