Young dogs can be very oral and want to chew and play with things. Sometimes dogs develop “favorite” things to chew on. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do to immediately stop him. However, frequently changing toys, keeping paper products out of his reach, maybe teaching him to only pick up something to chew or ear if given the release word. This takes time, patience, and repetition, but it can be done. I would also recommend blood work to verify that nothing else abnormal is going on, but likely it is behavioral. Best of luck and keep working at it. He will slowly improve. Thank you for using Pet Coach.

Hi there! It's very common for puppies to enjoy tearing up paper items, boxes, books, etc. The best way to prevent this is to puppy-proof your home and keep these items put away out of Kimi's reach - just like you would for a human toddler. She will likely become less interested in doing this as she gets older. I would also make sure that you are providing plenty of appropriate chewing options for her, such as bully sticks, rawhide chews, cow or pig ears, and puzzle toys such as a Kong stuffed with peanut butter.

That is wonderful!! Our two dogs are our children along with our son. We call them our fur babies :-) It's great that you want the best for her, and reach out for help when you have concerns about her and Zeus. It's exactly what you should do when you have a pet, and shows how much you love them.

I can understand how this is upsetting to you! You sound like you have a very kind heart, and I would allow them to pass in your home where they are warm. Using gloves, I would put them in a shoe box that is lined with paper towels to give them a soft and warm place to pass. I hope this helps!

Some treats can be very rich and that could cause vomiting or diarrhea. It all depends on what type of treats they are. If they are an easy to digest treat, likely you will not see any negative effects. Bag sizes can vary greatly. If it was a large volume of treats that she ate, you should cut down her dinner to correlate to the volume eaten. Meaning if she normally eats two cups of dog food and you estimate she ate about 2 cups worth of treats, you may skip giving her dinner. If she ate a very large volume of treats, that can cause significant bloating to the stomach and significant G.I. distress. Monitor her very closely for abnormal behavior or discomfort. If this is noted she should see the veterinarian. A small amount of paper is not likely to cause an intestinal obstruction but you should watch her closely for the next 48 hours for any signs of complications. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
