Do your puppies do that and if so how do you get them to stop?

Hi Sal, My little terrors are a buggar for this constantly picking the little stones up and the bark too.
Got to keep getting it off them and tell them no, but doesnt work, turn my back and they have another one in their mouth

mine like to chew on stones and they carry on with them in their mouth but I have never seen them swollowing them. They just spit them out when they are finished LOL

Warning
My lab likes to pick them up and carry them about never seen him eat one but in 2005 i have a £500 vet bill because he had eaten one and it got stuck in his small intestine.
Not much you can do to stop them other then keep taking them off him and saying no?
Sorry i have no better advice other then to watch out, my vet sees alot of dogs that have eaten stones its common prob but just a habbit normally find its nothing to do with food etc just dogs being odd

Yip my puppy likes them although i don't think he eats them - just eats grass (sure he thinks he's a sheep!) - as others say, you just have to persistent in taking him off and saying no!

My last lab did this, and my new lab puppy has already started on the gravel in the back garden - labs aren't the smartest of dogs though!

Thanks everyone

That was what was worrying me - that it might become lodged somewhere if he did swallow them.

I'll keep nagging - lol
