If you are grossed out by your dog’s wide and indiscriminating selection of things to eat, you are in the same boat with many pet owners the world over. Unfortunately, there is really no plausible explanation why dogs eat certain things. Most of the time, they are tempted by the strange smells, as their curious nature gets the better of them. Some dogs do it out of boredom.

The best thing you have to do is to prevent your dog’s access to trash and other things that he can get into his mouth. Store your trash in places that are out of your pet’s reach and dump your trash frequently. Crate training is also a safe way to prevent your dog from eating things that are not considered food, especially when you are not around to supervise them.

Don’t hesitate to ask for help from your Rocky Mountain House, AB animal hospital to help address your pet’s behavior.
