Young dogs can be very oral and want to chew and play with things. Sometimes dogs develop “favorite” things to chew on. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do to immediately stop him. However, frequently changing toys, keeping paper products out of his reach, maybe teaching him to only pick up something to chew or ear if given the release word. This takes time, patience, and repetition, but it can be done. I would also recommend blood work to verify that nothing else abnormal is going on, but likely it is behavioral. Best of luck and keep working at it. He will slowly improve. Thank you for using Pet Coach.

Hi there! It's very common for puppies to enjoy tearing up paper items, boxes, books, etc. The best way to prevent this is to puppy-proof your home and keep these items put away out of Kimi's reach - just like you would for a human toddler. She will likely become less interested in doing this as she gets older. I would also make sure that you are providing plenty of appropriate chewing options for her, such as bully sticks, rawhide chews, cow or pig ears, and puzzle toys such as a Kong stuffed with peanut butter.

Unfortunately the best way to completely prevent Luna from eating paper and tissues is to completely restrict her access. If you catch her in the act make a loud noise to startle her away from the object and give her an appropriate toy. She might like something that crinkles like paper.

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Getting appropriate toys and scratching posts/mats can help tremendously is giving your little guy something GOOD to scratch. You can also use human nail clippers for a kitten this size to help blunt the tips. (Added bonus, he will tolerate it better when its time for the vet to examine his feet or trim his nails!) As he grows, you’ll have to graduate to a veterinary nail clipper. Best wishes to you and Oliver!

It could be a problem. If that paper happens to get waded in just the wrong way then it could cause an intestinal obstruction. Monitor Scout very closely for vomiting, not eating well or having decreased energy levels. Keep in mind that the clinical signs for intestinal obstruction can vary between pets. Additionally, the paper contains bacteria from the raw chicken and this can also cause similar signs to an obstruction. If you see any potential signs of illness I recommend to have Scout examined immediately. An x-ray can help to determine if a potential obstruction is present. Be checking the stool daily for passage of the paper so you know it is clear. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.
