Our bernese pup has taken a liking to eating small stones - we have a large gravel area out in the yard and at first we thought she was just chewing them and spitting them out, but it now looks as though she is swallowing them. There isn't any signs of them passing right through and so we are worried that this is going to cause her problems. She doesn't seem to be in any pain or discomfort at the moment but she has started to have loose bowels over the last day or so.

If anybody has experienced this before or knows of a good way to stop her doing this I'd be very interested to hear?

Our Berner liked to eat wood. We could never figure out why he liked it so much. He stopped when he was about a year old. He doesn't seem to be any worse for wear but stones are much different. Sorry I don't have any ideas on how to get her to stop immediately. You could try to contact the breeder where you bought her and ask if they know something that will work to get her to stop. Good luck, she's a beautiful girl!!
