Hello everyone. I am new here and looking for advice. I have an 11 month old Corgi (Jack) who started eating rocks a few months ago. Jack is our fourth Corgi and we have never seen anything like this.

At first we didn't think much of it but then it got worse, really bad. We combed the large yard for rocks, we raked, we dug and we swept. When I saw that he was passing more rocks (like pebbles) than food we went to the Vet. He had a full work up and was fine in every way. Plus, he eats like a typical little Corgi piggy so I know he's not hungry. BUT, yesterday I caught him digging a hole like he was mining for rocks....he found a ton!

The Vet suggested we muzzle him, and although we are reluctant, we feel it will be best to keep him safe and break him of this behavior. Does any one have any advice or experience they can share with me? I have Googled this to death and only come up with "your dog is bored". Could that be all? Help!

Corey loved to eat rocks when he was a puppy. Upon noticing this fascination with rocks we kept him away from any small pebbles. Eventually he grew out of it and no longer desires the taste of rocks. Today he was onto pine cones. :)
