Expert Answer

It is usually fine if a Golden Retriever eats a small amount of paper. Because Golden Retrievers are large with somewhat sturdier intestines, a small amount of paper is unlikely to cause blockage or indigestion, and the paper is digested and passed out with the stool.

However, if a Golden Retriever eats a large amount of paper, it may develop abdominal pain, vomiting, constipation, and other problems that require prompt surgical treatment. In addition, some paper may contain dyes, bleach, and other harmful substances, and eating it often can bring other negative effects on the dog’s health. Therefore, to ensure the Golden Retriever’s health, do not let it eat paper freely.
