The act of a canine repeatedly chewing or nibbling on soft materials, particularly bed coverings, is a common behavior observed in domestic dogs. This conduct often manifests as rhythmic and persistent manipulation of the fabric with the mouth and teeth.
Understanding the motivations behind this activity is important for maintaining canine well-being and preventing potential damage to household items. The behavior can stem from various factors, including, but not limited to, anxiety, boredom, nutritional deficiencies, or underlying medical conditions. Addressing the root cause can lead to the cessation of the habit and improve the animal’s quality of life.
