My 1 year old beagle keeps eating paper, cardboard, cotton and plastic. Is it a sign of something? Also he tucks his lips under his teeth. He has come from an unstable environment. Can I help him in some way? If there are any special chew toys, or any supplements that I can give him, that can help him calm down, please suggest. Please suggest some solution for this.

If your pet has nutritional deficiencies, he may crave for non food items s.a., paper...Depletion of minerals can leave ur pet crave for paper like substances..

Or if a pet suffers from endocrine disorders s.a., Diabettes or cushings , it can cause ur dog to ferl more hungry ..your pet may find things to eat that are non food items esp. if food bowl is empty...
