Q: Is it safe to give our Rottie Pup the cardboard empty toilet paper rolls to chew on?
She is teething & loves to chew on things. 1 day I threw an empty toilet paper roll on the floor for her. I have done this several times now as she bags for them. I pick up what's left of it after she's bored & it's in a small mush mess on the floor. I don't think she eats much of it. I just wonder maybe this is bad but I am not sure. Does anyone else do this? Is it Ok or safe for a Rottie pup to chew on & possibly eat up small mushy pieces of it as she chews it?

I think all dogs love to chew on paper tubes but you do not want them to swallow the paper, it can cause serious problems. Get a Kong, put some peanut butter in it and the puppy will love to chew on this. Kong is the best toy for all of my Rotts, it is the only thing they can't destroy.

My puppy LOVES paper tubes! If I blow a raspberry through one, he comes running and barks at me for it! - paper towel or toilet paper tubes. I always make sure he doesn't swallow it - monitor the shredding and correct them when they try to swallow - say 'no, just chew it'. He's learned this and never swallows it.
Also make sure they know that only that material is permissable, and not your favorite paperback!
Good luck!
