Chewing coal

[pitmanuk 2]

Does anyone elses dog like to chew coal?

 

My jrt has decided to take a fancy to my coal stash, I have never had a dig like it before. Plus do you think it's bad for him? He's not eating a lot but does like a nibble every day lol

I don't know about actual pieces of coal, but there's them charcoal cobs that have been going for years that are used for treats for dogs.

 

Not sure about coal though.

charcoal is a traditional remedy for treating excess stomach and intestinal gas. It works by attracting excess gas in the stomach and bowels, which binds to the surface of the charcoal powder. This relieves the discomfort caused by excess gas (flatulence), wind, indigestion and heartburn. The charcoal is not absorbed from the gut.Activated charcoal is also used in hospital emergency departments to treat poisoning. mine have nibbled on the odd bit of coal in the past. and they are all fine

I can remember quite clearly as a young lad, my grandad always used to keep a few pigs. About once a week, he used to give them half a shovel of small coal. I can still see the black saliva dripping, as they crunched it up with great enthusiasm.
