My dog keeps eating his crate. What should I do if he eats a lot?

Question

we bought this crate and i noticed this part is attached on the inside. we've tried many things to help him stop destroying/eating his crate but nothing helps. he is only in the crate if we leave the house. eating a tiny bit of this piece isn't as concerning, i'm TERRIFIED we'll come home to him and he'll have eaten a lot of this piece. If he did should we immediately take him to the vet, give him some bread, wait it out? I just feel like its only a matter of time before he eats a lot of it! :(.

I think he is not likely to eat a lot of the crate, Spock is probably chewing the edges because of boredom. I would suggest that he is put in the crate after he has had a walk and ideally you have spent time playing with him so that he is physically and mentally tired. Something I found useful for dogs in crates was to stuff a kong with dog food, and then put it in the freezer for 2-3 hours then offer it to him. This should entertain him for a while. Best to try it first on a day when you will not be away for too long so that you can monitor that he does. Hope this helps !
