scotty88 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) Advice please. My 3 year old cocker spaniel has started picking up dead sticks and eating them, never done this before. No worms etc I can only think hes not getting something from his diet. I have had bother with him and his grub before but he has been on fishmongers finest for over a year with no problems upto the last fortnight. Any suggestions on a decent feed or why he has started this? Pulling bits of broken up stick from his backside is becoming too regular a task!

lee-kinsman Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) In my opinion a dog that is left to find its own fun and roam when out on walks will always chew sticks and develop other unwanted habits. I'd consider training your dog that way you know what its doing and picking up. Edited March 1, 2015 by lee-kinsman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loriusgarrulus Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 You could try Skinners Working 23 which is a very good feed. Have you tried taking something to throw for him to fetch to distract him from sticks. Or does he just need something to chew. The softer type meaty flavour nylabones might satisfy his chewing urges.
