Any insight on why my Elkhound is eating bits of toy plastic from squeakers?
My doxie loves squeakers. If it sounds like it's screaming and dying as he's chewing it, he's in heaven. He'll rip bits and bits off and make a neat little pile (I can't even imagine why he does that) and then leave it. We have to beat our Elkhound to the pile because we discovered he swoops in and eats every tiny left over bit. We discovered this after we found a few piles of barf with toy remnants. Our dogs love their toys, but there are becoming less and less things they can have, even supervised (they're quick!) We had to cut out anything with synthetic fur because my doxie will just rip the hair off and eat it (even tennis ball "fur")
Anyone else have a dog that does this? Maybe any whys? We just had our check up and my dudes are completely healthy, just... well, weird. They don't even chew any thing else, or eat any thing off the floor. Just toys.
