| Wood chewing...missing something from diet? Hey there. My pup chews on wood. Outside she'll chew on a log or scrap wood.... I know that horses and cows are lacking something if they chew on the fence. What could my Yorkie be missing in her diet that makes her crave wood? Any ideas? I feed her very good dog food.... |

| I use to tease Gracie, saying she was part beaver. She will be 5 months old tomorrow and the wood chewing has slowed down considerably. Not all wood chewing is due to a lack in their diets. Sometimes it's just a texture or boredom thing. Also, as youngsters they are exploring their world, smell and taste are the strongest ones for dogs.
