hodge911 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 jess has decided that she loves the taste of stones [and i don,t mean the beer] and will happily walk around the garden picking up small ones and crunching and swallowing them is this the norm for a 6 month pup she is a gwp x springer or is it something to be concerened about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Fudd Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 i wouldnt worry too much, ive had alot of dogs that did the same (rotties, lab's, etc); they also seem to love eating coal, its good for their teeth apparantly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 I on the other hand would worry, its a habbit that if it gets too carried away will cost you rather a lot in vets bills. Obviously they can't digest stones and if they do it too much they can end up needing an operation to remove them. Best try and stop it sooner rather than later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
