Dog Question

[crab]

My dog loves to eat anything cloth...almost like an addiction. I may be crazy, but I heard it is a certain vitamin deficiency that makes them do this..anybody know which one? Anyone have any idea what i'm talking about?

Do you love your little doggie? I'd ask a pro. Go to your vet.

I had a dog who used to eat the crotch out of all my dirty underwear... even my bikini bottoms. Just the crotch, nothing else!

Isla: my dog does that to my wifes underwear, I always just assumed it was the scent.

Never heard anything about it, but in my opinion it could possibly be true.

Dish towels, underwear (ISLA - that was more information than we needed to know!), socks, caps, and pot holders can become lodged in their intestines and require surgery to get out. Very expensive. Ask your vet.

Zapster, I aim to please.

BTW, Zapster is right, it does pose a health problem. Same goes for rubber chewie toys... if your dog eats 'em, don't give them to him!

maybe you need to wash your clothes? Its probably the stank on it the dogs like.

kinda like how they like to eat poop too.

You should discourage your dog from eating cloth and such. I lost my Bull Terrier when he was only seven. He had the same habit and it caused enough damage/stoppage in his gastro-intestinal system that my Vet could not save him.

See your Vet now..,

Good Luck,

Boba_C is right. Eating thst stuff is dangerous for doggie. Get him checked by a vet, and if it is a vitamin deficiency, the vet will suggest what food will be best for him and may even give him some vitamins.
