Schnauzer (detailed introduction)

Many dog-owning families have encountered the issue of dogs eating napkins. They often tear the napkins into shreds, and sometimes even eat some of the napkins. What to do if a dog eats napkins, and what causes them to do so? If they are just playing, it is fine, but if this happens frequently, then one should pay attention to whether they have pica.

Pica is a very complex syndrome caused by metabolic dysfunction, abnormal taste perception, and improper dietary management. If your pet dog often steals and eats toilet paper or other strange things, you might as well take the dog to the vet to check for pica and then seek ways to solve it.

If a dog eats napkins, besides the necessary physical examination, once this situation is discovered, it must be stopped in time, followed by strict criticism and education. When a dog is found eating napkins, it must be criticized face-to-face and not allowed to eat them anymore.

If a dog occasionally eats napkins, it is likely they treat it as a game, but if it happens frequently, it is best to take them to the hospital for a checkup and stop this behavior promptly.
