If your dog is like many others, he probably has spent his fair share of time chewing on things around your home. While this is a common dog behavior, it can make pet owners wonder what’s going on.  So why does your dog chew on everything?

Your pet is learning about the world around him in any way that he can. Chewing offers him a way to gain information about the world around him in a way that his other senses don’t. He can tell if something is edible by chewing on it, and he can also ease some teething pain if it is present. Also, your pet is often able to see results from his chewing by leaving marks behind. It gives him something to do when he is bored. For more information, please contact your local veterinary clinic San Diego.
