Is Your Dog Eating Weird Things That Aren't Food? Learn About This Habit And How You Can Help

Dogs can develop all sorts of habits and problems, from anxiety to pica (eating things that aren't food). Even though it's scary when you discover that your pooch has a serious issue, this doesn't mean there isn't a solution. In fact, with time and care your pup can overcome pica and other eating problems.

First you should visit your vet to confirm whether he has pica. Some pups like to eat things like grass or junk food, which is different from pica and is normal if it happens occasionally. If your dog is suffering from pica, he'll likely be going after strange objects like rocks, Legos, and other dangerous objects.

Pica won't go away on its own, but you can find a specialist that can help your pet. For now be patient and keep dangerous items away from him — you don't want him getting hurt!
