Chronic oral disease can lead to a variety of health complications if it’s not addressed. Most important with the kind of dog you have is good dental care. I would also urge you put your dog on my home-prepared diet, as posted on my website,, reducing the grain amount by 50 percent. Also, try a couple of good-quality probiotic capsules a tablespoon of live, plain organic yogurt or kefir and a crushed pediatric multivitamin and multimineral tablet. I doubt your dog is being properly nourished, so I would give her digestive enzymes, which a teaspoon of shredded unsweetened pineapple in her food would provide. Some animals will carefully select the kind of dirt, possibly to get an infusion of soil bacteria that can help with digestion, or of various minerals that might correct a deficiency or imbalance. Animals, including humans, will develop this form of pica when they are anemic or have a digestive problem or other internal issue that might be relieved by consuming dirt.
Geophagia (eating dirt) is a normal behavior. DF: I am surprised that the vet tech with whom you spoke seemed clueless about this common condition in animals - dogs in particular.
