He really does! He goes to the bathroom and rolls some off and eats it. Does anyone else's animal eat strange things like this? Does anyone have any idea why my dog does this? lol

My cousin's dog takes all the tissues out of the tissue box, shreds them and strews them all over the house...She says if she forgets to put them away, she comes home to a house full of snow...lol

My childhood dog was fond of eating Kleenex as well. I don't know what prompts dogs to do ANYTHING, LOL. She used to chew on the kitchen chairs, too, so my dad put Tabasco sauce on the legs -- and she kept chewing away! Who knew dogs had a taste for hot sauce!

My male cat is obsessed with rubber bands in that he'll "dig them out" from under a pile of stuff. I have to remember to keep them on inside doorknobs (inside of closet doorknob) so he can't know they're there. Unfortunately they do occasionally "fall" and then he finds them.

My girl cat eats photographs. Must be some chemical on them. Is your toilet paper "scented"? Maybe your dog likes a certain scent? I've heard of (and watched on Emergency Vets show on TV) dogs eating rocks but not toilet paper.

I had a dog once that used to eat balloons and socks.

I had to take him to the vet because he couldn't poo and then he poo'ed out two socks right in the vets room!

[lenjan]

I suppose vets have seen it all, but man, that must have been embarrassing!

Animals are just funny critters. Of course, that's probably what THEY think of humans! LOL

[BlueFaith]

Candy, I'm just glad my dog doesn't puke. Heh heh.

[seeker1950]

I had a Pekepoo once, just a pup, who ate some dental floss.. She became very ill, and I took her to the vet, who said it was winding thru her intestines and tightening up. I paid $700 to have it removed! Big mistake on my part, allowing dental floss to fall on the floor. The vet also said horses will do this and eat the string off hay and it will also wind thru their intestines.

Ooooh, there's a good reason for not getting a pet ... I could afford to feed them now, but vet bills! Owie!

[froggie2]

I got the same problem. Toilet paper and kleenex all over the house if I'm not careful. I thinks its when they get bored.My Shitz tsu dicovered that there was usually a kleenex box beside the bed and started jumping up and walking across to get it.

dogs are so funny...

[DaveyJones]

Jenn, I think your dog is hoping for a special "treat" at the other end...eeeewwww...

[BlueFaith]

Ewwwww... LOL. I certainly hope not!

[pegasus]

My dog used to eat knickers aswell but that's another story............

[radio_flyer]

My son's dogs eats toilet paper too.. I catch them munching down the toilet paper and they start running.. I can't catch them and what they do is hurry up and swallow the paper..

[BlueFaith]

What kind of dogs are they, radio flyer?? Just curious...

[radio_flyer]

One is a male, black pug... The other is a female minature pug. They are soooo cute and sooooo funny and always into some kind of mischief. A handful indeed but a pleasure to have around

Well, I think there's a difference between tearing it up and playing with it, and eating it.

If they are eating it, they need more fiber in their diet. OR he could be hungry. Try adding in some treats during the day. In the meantime, close the bathroom door or put the paper up on the counter That could get expensive, and quite embarrassing for needy times!

Dogs tend to treat themselves, just like when they eat grass they are trying to either settle their stomach or make themselve vomit up something that isn't sitting well.

[JustAPixie]

My cat will alos eat just about anything... she plays with a piece of paper and the next moment it's just gone! We also had a dog that ate rocks...

[lenjan]

My childhood dog loved to scarf down iceberg lettuce, and raw white onions. And peanut butter.

[radio_flyer]

When the dogs are hungry they scratch on the dog food bag and bark and bark and bark till I fill their food dish.. If the water bowl is empty they sometimes carry the bowl to me or they scratch the bowl and bark and bark till I fill the water bowl. So they let me know loud and clear when they are hungry or thirsty....

And treats.. Lordy they go nuts over treats.. When they feel they need a treat they will jump on my leg or grab my shirt tail and pull and pull and bark and growl till they get a treat.. I sometimes give in.. Usually I give them a treat when they pee outside or sometimes just for the heck of it, esp if they are being good... which lately is seldom...

I do keep the toilet paper off the floor .. well most of the time.. I have no idea how the toilet paper roll gets to the floor, but when it does, the dogs always are the first to find it.... and yes they "eat" the paper.. and they like tearing it up too...

Could be a "bored" thing to get attention.. Or they may need more fiber.. well maybe.. they seem to poo enough .. I am not sure... could be a "chew" thing.. They have a toy box filled to the brim with toys but prob could benefit from some chewy type toys too... Will mention to my son to get some chewy bones..

Psst. Off Topic, sorry...but radio, is the toilet paper bleached or unbleached.

[BlueFaith]

Maybe my dog does have something wrong, but it's not because he's hungry. He's fed and watered plenty. Maybe he is lacking in something though. Has to be.

[radio_flyer]

I caught the dogs chewing on rocks the other day. Figured they were sharpening their teeth for the next wrestling match. lol.. the rocks they chew on are too large to swallow, but I still take the rocks from them...thinks they really do need more hard chew type toys and less fluffy toys to tear apart.. hmmm
