Dr Alice,
Why does my dog chew up everything??? Sincerely, Ripped To Shreds
Dear Ripped,
Young dogs feel the need to chew things up. Those with separation anxiety always feel the need to chew things up. Their dog stomachs can handle lots of swallowed stuff but occasionally their GI tracks can not. And veterinarians have to remove ‘foreign bodies’ like underwear and rocks and jewelry and corn cobs and bones and toys from dog’s guts. The list goes on and on and on. If you think your dog swallowed something, call your veterinarian.
