Very good point Barbara! I have done some more research on this and have added information about PICA to this article. I think you’re right, and this information could really help others!

Having just lost a young family Doberman to PICA, believe me, we are very conscious of using a muzzle on our other Doberman as a prevention measure. The alternative is not letting the dog have any freedom to explore. Of course we did proper training with both dogs from an early age, to not touch tissues, eyeglasses, poop etc, but the PICA issue is very serious, and we learned the hard and tragic way. A muzzle can be a preventive measure, and we choose to let the dog have some freedom to explore, be a dog, and without the fear of grave consequences. Perhaps you could do an article on PICA, as evidently Dobes are quite prone to this.
