In May our Jack/Beagle will be 6 yrs old. He has always chewed all of his toys up in less than 1 minute. I found a hard ball with a bell inside. He loves to play ball with it. After he gets thru playing catch, he starts chewing on it. In his lifetime he has gone thru 6 of them and he is getting faster about chewing them to pieces. His last one only lasted two weeks. I got him two doggie tennis balls yesterday and they are demolished. He goes thru rawhide bones in less than a week.
I have started a job outside of the home and he is having to stay by himself during the day. He doesn't tear up anything. I also changed his food because he is too heavy. He is now on Nutro (Max) weight control food. I have noticed that he is drinking a lot more water and is begging for food constantly.
Could he have a behavior problem and does the drinking a lot mean something other than a change in food....Diabetes maybe?
Thanks in advance for your input.
