We’ve all been there—you feel so hungry that you’d do practically anything for a bite of food. It’s hard to control yourself when you’re ravenous, consequences be damned. It’s only after we’ve filled our bellies that we realize we may have been better off being a tad more careful. And our pets are no different!

Our team here at Bored Panda has compiled a list of photos that show poor animals that ran out of luck and accidentally got stuck while eating. Scroll down for a big dose of silliness. None of the animals in these pictures were hurt. Keep in mind that if you see an animal seriously stuck and in distress, you may need to gently help it yourself ASAP or ask for professional assistance. The key is not to panic.

Bored Panda wanted to know what to keep in mind in case of such an emergency, so we reached out to the PDSA, the UK’s largest veterinary charity. PDSA Vet Nurse Shauna Walsh shed some light on this, and you'll find her expert insights as you read on.

    One of my cats stole an empty crisp packet out the bin one night while I was asleep, she got it stuck on her head and very nearly died. I found her in the morning not moving and barely breathing. I'm now paranoid and cut up every packet big enough to fit the head of a cat.

    Yes, definitely more serious than a chip bag. I wonder if they had to sedate the dog. A buzzing saw that close to his mouth might be dicey. Edit: followed the reddit link and yes, they had to knock the dog out.

    Little Foster Pupper Got His Head Stuck In A Pickle Jar Going After A Chicken Bone. No Worries, The Jar Was Broken And He Made It Out Without A Scratch

    My big dog got into the trash and knocked everything over. Pieces of chicken were tossed into the trash and there happened to be the jar inside. Pupper decided it was go-time! It was pretty scary holding him down and breaking it off. I slid cardboard between his neck/head to make sure he wasn't hurt. Got me and my wife cut up though.
