Why does my dog want to eat my pads?
Dogs sniff crotches and underpants because they’re desperately searching for useful information, according to Dogster. Before dogs wore costumes, sat at cafes, and had birthday parties, they were hunters and scavengers so they’re attracted to bodily fluids and more specifically, smells associated with decay.
Is it bad if a dog eats a pad?
Diapers, tampons, sanitary napkins, and toilet paper are designed to absorb liquids. When swallowed, they immediately begin to soak up the gastric juices in the digestive tract and swell in size and density. This robs the dog of vital fluids and puts them at risk for a life-threatening intestinal blockage.
