I shouldn't worry. There are much worse things that dogs will eat. Our Lyle, 8 yr old GM, loves to chew, eat and otherwise make a mess of sticks, wood and palmetto boots. So far, no issues.

 

My dog eats any little wood scraps he can find. I really have to watch him.

 

Could she have an upset tummy and trying to eat the ashes as a means to settle it?

 

Is it just a pit, or do you cook over it?

 

It tastes good.

 

My pup drug up a burnt end chunk of fire wood. Loves to carry it around. I just thought he was goofy.

 

When my Sadie is out on free time she is slways chewing on wood in some fashion. Always has.

 

charcoal is good stuff...i hear it is a filter and "cleanser"...

 

My lab eats everything.

 

I have had plenty of dogs over the years who pick at it here and there. I just make sure they don't eat a ton of it. Never had any issues.

 

All my guys love to eat charcoal.

 

My 2 year old just grabbed a nice chunk out of the fireplace while I was cleaning out the ashes. She made it sound so delicious and crunchy as she was eating it. It has a nice mouth feel she says.

 

My 4 month old pup found the fire pit also. For awhile I couldn't keep him out. He eventually moved on to other things.

 

When I was a teenager I built a really nice dog house out of cedar for my lab. He ate the dog house until nothing was left. He never seemed to have a problem with it, just loved cedar.

 

We don't cook over it so I guess she just likes the taste. Thanks to all of you - glad to know this is not uncommon!

 

our farm animals eat it when they needs de wormed. Check the poo...maybe there are worms there.
