Eating everything in sight, I know its a spaniel thing but..

[Jane57]

Honestly Riley is getting worse, during each walk I have to wrestle so many different things from his jaws.
Today was a huge moth, bits of wood, bark, dirt, a flower (well he spat that out) a bit of a kids lollypop.
He EATS anything. Are yours like this?

  ...this all sounds very familiar
Most of them do grow out of it...but my youngest is nearly two and still steals everything inside the house and out  I think he just does it for attention being the youngest

It's the same here Jane, alfie comes in with bits of goodness knows what hanging out of his mouth  It doesn't get any better I'm afraid, Basil is 12 and will also eat anything and everything in his sight

Yes, Toby was the same.  The whole walk consisted of me wrestling to get stuff out of his mouth.  There is a big improvement now, though, but I still have to watch him.

I suppose its a bit like toddlers putting everything in their mouths just to see what it is  
Very time consuming...I HAD bark in the back garden and when all the pups were small they would rush out into the garden and straight away grab a piece, bring it onto the lawn and start eating it...I of course would take it away and then as soon as my back was turned they would run and fetch another piece   .....after three pups my garden is now pretty bare

Ahh well suppose its a spaniel thing. We had a springer and I pretty much remember him being like this.

Think we all have a long list of things we've wrestled out of their mouths on walks. 
Darwin's worst has to have been a very very sticky toffee apple. I didn't even have a spare poo bag to use.  I thought I was going to pull all his teeth out  I then stuck to anything I touched.

If it ain't nailed down it gets snaffled  x x x

Max was always bad with this and forever had a poorly tummy. I have found though that since moving him to raw he doesn't bother with most things now. He will sniff a lot but if i say leave it he does which is a big change. Don't know if it is because he is no longer a puppy or because of the change in diet!!

Erin grew out of eating most things on her walk...apart fom any discarded food she may find and that is usually hoovered up before we can stop her as she is never on a lead. Tilly who is nearing 10 months will eat everything from grass...paper..sticks..food...clothes pegs...toys..balls...it a constant battle getting her to give up whatever she has. I am hoping that this will stop when she finishes teething....she even managed to eat a quarter of a Kong...constantly picks off small pieces of anything and everything

Hi Jane

Can't imagine what he'll eat when you drop him onto two meals a day

A particular delicacy here is a chip that has been trodden on 14 times.  Today the treasure was a whole burnt pizza base, thankfully she only managed a nibble of it before I realised what it was.

Diesel hasnt grown out of it and hes 5 he once ate human sick  and also a firework    Olli doesnt seem to bother but then Olli isnt a greedy cocker

Toby's just snaffled a crust of bread while on a walk.  Managed to get a bit off him but the rest went down the orifice
