Eating paper

[Grayson & Lu]

This is kinda off topic, but I know I've seen it mentioned here before.

A friend's dog is eating paper. Any kind. Tissue, newspaper, you name it.

I recall someone mentioning a vitamin or mineral deficiency that results in this tendency. Is anyone aware of what that might be?

Thanks in advance,
Lu-Ann

It's called 'pica' and happens in lots of different species including humans, dogs, cats, lizards.... :roll: Maybe you can at least learn more by having a name for it. My pups chew paper but it's just to create a huge pile of 'Black Kitty' (Angela's) paper...

BIG HUG!
