Why Does My Cocker Carry His Pellets Around The House?

by Cindy
(Cape Town)

My Cocker Spaniel is 8 years of age, and ever since he was a puppy he would take a mouthful of pellets and eat them somewhere else.

However, in the last 8 months he has begun to carry the pellets all around the house and not eat them.

Occasionally he eats them, but mostly just leaves them until we pick them up.

He also "stores" almost an entire bowl full of pellets in his bed.

Is this normal and how can I attend to this?

He's well looked after - he's exercised regularly, given proper food which I buy from the vet, and we don't have another dog.

We give him a lot of attention and there is no stress or change of events in home.

I've read up a bit about it, but just want to make sure I'm doing everything I can to take care of him to the best of my ability.
