Charlie eat stones and waist what should i do? Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | 2 months and 8 days old | 3.5 lbs

Charlie is adorable! You need to stop him from eating stones, as those could cause a foreign body obstruction. Distract him when you see he's trying to eat stones by getting him to do tricks or offering him a treat. I assume you mean he's also eating waste, such as feces. This isn't good for him to do as well, and when he poops, pick it up right after he goes to keep him from eating it. Best of luck.
