My dog, who is about 16 months old, has started eating stuff off the ground during our walks much more than normal. He's a hound mix, so he's always got his nose to the ground and occasionally picks up something gross. But lately, he's become much less selective and is trying to eat pretty much anything he can find (before it was just discarded food; now it's stuff like plastic bottle caps). He spits out the non-edible stuff, but I wonder why he's become such a vacuum.
Any ideas? He's been eating plenty, so I doubt he's hungry. (And even if he were hungry, he never felt the need to pick up so much trash before.)
