What is Pica in dogs and how do we treat it?

Pica is a common issue in dogs where they are driven to eat inanimate objects. These objects can range from underwear, socks, to sticks, rocks and just about anything else. Pica commonly causes gastrointestinal distress at a minimum if these objects are swallowed, broken teeth, toxicity, obstructions and a host of other health issues. In this episode Dr. Roger addresses Pica, what causes it , and what can be done to treat it.
