2 Year Old Dog Eats EVERYTHING?




I have a 2 year old mut (catahoula leopard, American bulldog, Rhodesian ridgeback and whatever else), seriously. We have had this problem with him since he was about 6 months old, he literally will eat ANYTHING. He has been to the vet numerous times and we have spent SO much money only to be told there is nothing we can do about it and he will "grow out of it". Well, here we are over a year later and he is still ingesting anything he can get his paws on. And the thing about it is, he is so SNEAKY about it I never know when he’s done it until he ends up puking in the house or has diarrhea. He is about 65 pounds, he is on a regular eating schedule and gets PLENTY of exercise. He is crated when we are not home, so all of this eating happens when we ARE home. Did I mention he once ate a piece of wood because my nephew had colored it with a scented marker? He likes- socks, underwear, rugs, tissues, shoes, he chewed the corner of our coffee table off, he ate ALL of the stuffing from inside his old bed (he has a kuranda dog bed now). Anyhow,

Do ANYONE has ANY suggestions how I can stop this from happening?

My boyfriend and I take up too much of the bed so I need a really soft good quality bed she can sleep on. One that won’t fall apart in a couple months, but also isn’t like .

Any good suggestions?

I have gone through 7 collars since I’ve had my American Bulldog.He is 9 weeks old and he has literally shredded ever collar. I bought a choke chain and he obviously can’t chew through it but that doesn’t stop him from trying. He also tries to eat his tags.What should I do?

We have used old bed comforters and even bought her a dog bed from Sam’s that had a canvas like material cover. All chewed to shreds!! I have heard things like hay or hampster bedding but don’t want it all over the kitchen floor which is where we keep her crate. The dog is a 11 month old American Bulldog.

My vet recommended Nutro Ultra, but my puppy (English/ American Bulldog mix) doesn’t seem to like it very much. I have been hearing good things about Chicken Soup, so I wanted to get everyone’s opinion on this?

Basically my American Bulldog is currently eating Science Diet but the .00 per 15lb’s is hitting the check book pretty hard so I was wondering on another good brand that will keep her healthy.

When is it ok to give my puppy dry food?




Right now I give her canned dog food(from the Vet) and milk replacement. She is a american bulldog mixed with a english bulldog and she is 4 weeks old. She just got out of the hospital a week ago, she was born with heartworms and had to have a blood tranfusion. She already has her puppy teeth so when would it be ok to give her dry dog food?
