My beautiful 1 y/o pittie mix is a dream. Extremely well behaved and has so much personality. Due to my health issues I can’t take her for walks every day, but I always want to make sure she stays stimulated.
She swallows EVERYTHING we let her play with. For awhile, I was giving her cardboard boxes/empty tp rolls, but then we noticed big pieces in her poop and she was struggling to potty. So I started giving her “an allotted amount of card board” each day. I still worried about her stomach so I stopped. We had to get rid of all the rope toys in the house bc her poop has string throughout it (she’s okay this was awhile ago), so we only have nylabones in the house and maybe two fabric toys that she’s monitored with.
She is not destructive in general, but she just swallows everything she chews on. I think she really enjoys shredding things, and I want to give her toys/items she CAN so the behavior doesn’t go to things she shouldn’t.
Does anyone have any ideas on what to give her for stimuli/shredding? I saw iceberg lettuce before and that seemed smart. I just want to let her occasionally shred something without worrying about her getting a blockage.
TLDR: Young dog swallows all her toys and I need ideas for things she can safely put that shredding energy into.
