Dog Eating Carpet Strings
A cheeky three year old cocker spaniel has been named the nation s most destructive pet.
Dog eating carpet strings. I d recommend that you take him to your veterinarian. Based on the new information that this behavior does not happen when you are not home but in fact when you are at home it is likely to be pica which is the consistant ingestion of non food item. If your puppy starts to chew on your carpet it could be because he s teething. The concern is this.
Do you think your puppy may be teething. Indeed when dogs have an upset stomach their instinct is to eat grass so they can induce themselves to vomit but in a domestic setting at home there s no grass to eat so the dog reaches out for the carpet or anything else in reach. Usually this ends by the time your puppy turns 6 months old. I know of no dietary deficiency that would cause a dog to eat carpets.
You wrote that your dog ate part of a rug and now has a string hanging out his rear end. Dog licking the carpet one possible explanation for this behavior is that the dog has a digestive problem.
