Default Dog swallowed car keys- need to drive to work.. call a locksmith?

I own a '15 challenger and a golden retriever.. Mischievous as that little fella is, he swallowed my car keys and I really can’t miss work, tomorrow. What options do I have? Dealership or locksmith?

Moved to the correct section.


Neither. Get your dog to the vet ASAP. No spares? 2015 should have come with at least 2 remotes or spare keys/emergency key. Dealer or locksmith will not help with extracting your keys from the dog.

Put your dog IN the car. The passive entry should still read the FOB as being inside the car.




I really, really want to know if it works (:

This is definitely a new one. I would put the dog in the car, and take him to a vet . If the vet keeps the dog, then Uber is your best friend.

I should hope that you took him to the vet.. first.. the dog might take up to 24 hours to pass it out.. if in the meanwhile you need to drive, then yes, call a locksmith

I don't know why we even reply to these first post Houdini people. A week later I guess he stuck his arm up there and got the key out...??

Though it might have been genuine. I was mistaken. Again. Lol. We can have fun with it though. Like the good old days.
