Buried...dog food

by **Darkbutterfly101j** on Tue Sep 25, 2007 6:25 pm

My old dog Spankie used to bury her food all the time and then find it and eat it later. Is that a problem? and if it is How do I stop it if this happens again?

Hmm ive never had that happen but ive heard of it being quite common. Maybe keep an eye on feeding time to make sure she doesnt try burying it and if she does try let her know you dont want her to 8-)

What food are you feeding,if it's raw meaty bones they can be buried for a couple of days and then eaten with no harm coming to your dog,if it's a processed food a few hours should be okay but no longer

It was hot dogs. I mean she loved them more than anything.

That's very interesting. This must be because your dog must not have a bone to bury or something. She must be substituting food for it. What makes this strange though, is that how does she bury food? Does she carry it in her mouth?

Well she died a few weeks ago but yes she would carry it in her mouth, dig a hole and then bury it.

I used to give her alot of bones but i stopped when she started choking on them. This happened twice.
