Dogs may attempt to chew the bottle if left unsupervised, leading to possible choking after getting pieces
Prevention: At any point that this occurs it is best to remove the bottle from the vicinity of the dog, otherwise the bottle will be chewed to pieces faster than one would expect. This would be the intervention applied from before the worries of the bottle taking over.
