Why does your puppy chew wood?

Dogs and cats will generally eat grass if they have an upset stomach. If it's a puppy the dog may eat bark or bushes because they are teething. Some dogs do it just for fun and there is really no nutritional value in it. My 7 month old pup will get pieces of bark and bring it in the house and flip it around and one time he even brought in a large branch off a tree! I must admit, for such a little guy and that big job of hauling that branch in I had a good laugh over it. Marcy His tummy hurts..he is not hungry( he or she)

Because he is probably teething (his teeth are coming in), so he chews things to help make his teeth healthy and strong.
