You Asked: ‘Why Is My Dog Doing THAT?’

When She Nurses On Blankets

Dogs can bond with blankets – or other stuffed animals – in the same way that toddlers often keep sucking their thumb. Your pup might be attached to an item because they were taken from their mother too soon and still need a form of nurturing or comfort.

You might notice that she will keep sucking or playing with inanimate objects. There’s more chance of seeing this among breeds like Doberman Pinschers and Dachshunds since they’re taken from their parents earlier than most.
