Shih Tzu and Tissues

Question
Why does my Shih Tzu love to eat any kind of tissues, whether Kleenes, toilet paper, paper towel, etc.?

Answer
Hi Cheryl;
She may be lacking a mineral in her diet.
Try to get her some other food that has more calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus...
Otherwise, she is just playing like normal pups, and ripping them, and chewing them for teething.
All dogs love the lightness of the tissues.
Have fun!
Let me know what else I can do to help.
Please rate my answer on our site.
Thanks again,
Melissa
