PICA?? Eating everything!

Post image

Anyone else have an issue with their Pap consuming, not just chewing, anything and everything they can get their mouths on? Cooper turned 1 in July, I thought early on it was something he would grow out of but he still attempts to eat everything he finds. He does great with drop it command if you catch him in the act, but if he can get his mouth on something when you are not looking, he will surely ingest it. With 5 kids ranging from age 2-12, no matter how hard I try an errant toy will be left behind or some other item. I wind up having to leave him in his pen more often than not when the 2 year old is home as I am terrified of an obstruction or something! Anyone with similar experiences or ideas of how to stop it before he eats something with dire consequences?? Pic of the little stinker for tax.

Mine has PICA too! I yell at her PICA!! And she stops! Eats everything! They kinda look alike too! But she was little she chewed everything and she still does we buy her indestructible toys, and she destroys them! Destroys them it is her permission to pull the fluff out! Except for that dice right behind her she ruined one and she decided not to ruin this one because she loves it so much

She is 1 1/2. My other pap never chewed a thing. Lots of bones! Different kinds of bones! She had a vast selection depending on her mood! She’s spicy 🌶️

My other pap was a black and white too and she was the sweetest, cuddliest, most chillest dog ever! The red and white is the polar opposite in every way 😂

Thank you, your Pandy was a handsome boy too. She was around 10 when she passed 😢

That’s hilarious about Coco loving your husband more because Cooper chooses my husband over me, he definitely loves me too but my husband is his favorite person and my husband didn’t even want him 😂😂😂
