Lola sucking quilt?
Lola is now 13 weeks, just over 3 months.I have always used quilts as bedding as I find it cheaper. So was just a little confused as to why Lola has started in the last couple of days sucking the quilt, she gets a whole mouthful in and kneads the quilt as she is sucking, then she can often fall asleep with the quilt still in her mouth.
Any ideas and should I prevent this or just let her get on with it.
To me it looks like she's using it like a child would a dummy, but I'm no expert.

Suckling maybe? a friends pup used to do this alot and it would send her to sleep, i dont think you should be worried just watch she doesn't get it down her throught and block the airways ..
p.s finally someone who lives around my end! hi! haha

Molly does this ! Well, not with a quilt, but with my finger :S I think it's a comfort thing, like a dummy, or as Kelly said, a suckling instinct

Just be careful she doesn't start to suck bits off it. If it's just sucking there won't be a problem, but it could become a habit which will lead to chewing & swallowing at a later date, as when a pup gets over a certain age it can't suck any more.
