my husband started to give my chihuahua little pieces of toilet paper to eat, and she loves it. He only does it when he goes to the bathroom. I was wondering is it safe for her to be eating toilet paper? i mean she doesnt get sick or have any side effects when he does it.

1. stop letting your husband give your poor dog toilet paper to eat..hello, dyes and chemicals on toilet paper..paper does NOT digest
2. get your husband into counselling and you might want to join in too

If toilet paper were to eat a different label would be applied.
You are possibly going to have a chihuahua with an impacted bowel and have a big vet bill to clean up the mess.

Here is a suggestion. Buy or bake some doggy treats. Place them on the top of your toilet, in a sealed container. Next time your husband starts to feed your pup toilet paper, slap his hand, and say...BAD BOY! Then, point to the treats on the back of the toilet.

i think there is a little more going on than toilet tissue eating by the dog. I think your husband has a few problems. Normal adults do not feed non food items to anything. I have a feeling your dog will not have a long happy life. too bad they let anyone have dogs.

How do you know she has no side effects. This is short term and you have no long term information but picture this, all paper is laced with chemicals some are carcinogens. In a few years your dog could get cancer. What does it matter, it's only a dog, right?

It is not safe. Although you may not see any side effects now, the dog might get sick or have problems digesting it. Feed her dog treats and dog food only.

No! It's not ok. Do you know how many chemicals and bleach there are in there? You've gotten the dog into a very bad habit. Don't continue it. Be serious! Think about it!

Well it's definitely not good. I don't know if she will die from it but, she could get really constipated and need alot of vet visits! I would find another treat for her bc are you going to think it's cute when you leave her at home and she tears through your tp and leaves it all over the house?

Um, who feeds a dog toilet paper? No your dog should receive treats when they are deserving and should receive pet treats, not something you wipe your butt with.
