Cindy's Answer:

Don’t give them anything they can chew. Some dogs just can’t ever be left unattended with blankets and beds. This is one of those cases where you just have to prevent the unwanted behavior. Dogs that do this can end up with blockages from ingesting pieces of their bedding, it’s just not worth the risk.
