Toilet Paper Tell Tale Trail

There doesn’t seem to be a good reason why dogs, and certainly cats, are attracted to playing with toilet paper. Fair enough, human children are also in on this particular act. When dogs are older, it is possible that they may eat things that aren’t good for them like toilet paper or other odd objects such as rocks, sticks, plastic, or animal feces (which is specifically called caprophagia), but this particular issue, called pica, has no clear identifiable causes.
