Dogs will eat pretty much anything, but this is not because it necessarily helps them. They have been known to consume objects that are decidedly bad for them, and in some cases this can be fatal- whether by blocking the bowel or piercing it, or simply due to poison or toxicity (chocolate being one of the most common toxins consumed by pet dogs is not a surprise example), canine fatalities as a result of consuming strange materials and objects are not uncommon.

It would not really be a good idea to encourage the consumption of toilet paper; not only could this lead to obstructions, but it is treated with chemicals (including bleach) that may cause long-term or serious health problems.

However, it is likely that your dog just likes making a mess of things, and shreds more than it consumes. Most dogs do like to play.

Be aware, dogs can also make a mess in protest, for instance, at long periods of loneliness (a widespread form of neglect among dog-owners). If you suspect this, remember that your clever pet chose this expression of rebellion over the destruction of furniture items... then do something to improve your clever pet's lot before the campaign steps up a notch!

I wouldn't let my dog do that. Too great a chance that it could ball up and clog. Plus, that's some funky stuff to pick up in the backyard.

Is a toilet roll okay for a rabbit to eat?

The cardboard tube inside the toilet paper roll is perfectly fine for bunnies to eat. This makes a great toy! Bunnies like to chew on it, tear it up, and throw it around. You can stuff it with hay to encourage hay eating! Plain cardboard like this even adds fiber to your bunny's diet (only a bit, though: your bunny still needs to eat lots and lots and lots of hay to get enough fiber in her/his diet). Do not give your rabbit toilet paper to eat. It's heavily bleached, which is not safe to consume, no matter who you are (human or rabbit!). Also, toilet paper is so soft and processed that it has hardly any fiber in it - it could even lead to gut impaction, maybe. See the related link below for details about what kinds of paper products are good for rabbits, and what kinds aren't.


What happens if a hamster eats a toilet roll?

Yes, they can. Guinea pigs, like a lot of other rodents, like chewing on cardboard, paper, etc. However you be careful the first few times you give paper to your piggie. Some guinea pigs simply chew the paper while others try to eat it, which can affect their digestion. If your pet eats paper it should be given some other kind of chew toy. In any case chewing is extremely important for rodents because their teeth are always growing.
