If your German Shepherd puppy eats non-food materials, it may indicate an underlying health condition or a behavioral problem. Some veterinarian specialists associate pica with health disorders: iron deficiency anemia, chronic stomach or intestinal disease, such as chronic pancreatitis, swallowing problems, lead toxicity and other diseases.
