| I've got a little poop eater... That's a tamer description than my husband uses for my sweet Molly! Why do they do this? I've noticed when she eats carrots, some chunks come all the way thru. Is that why? How can I stop this? It's just so unladylike...ha! Carla |

| My Hannah used to do this (and very rarley still does). She would only do this on the potty pad, if she went ouside she would not even try to touch it. If she pottied on the pad I would try to pick it up right then, if I left it or if I was not home when she went, it would be shredded all over the place. I did try Forbid for awhile and it did help, but after I stopped using it she went back to eating it again. She is 9 months old and she pretty much stopped doing it, but occasionaly I will notice it being shredded, especially if I am gone for a long time. Good luck. |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Pixie does this too. She was 13 months when I got her. She doesn't do it as much any more.

| Good news for you all, they DO outgrow this. I try to clean it off Venus's pads before she gets a chance to do it. Seems I forgot when she quit doing that altogether, but she's a year old now, and hasn't done it for quite some time. Nothing else short of grabbing it before she did helped me! |

| I just got my 3 1/2 year old "baby" last week and she raids the litter box. I put up a baby gate tonight but the litter box is in my laundry room and it's a pain for me to hike myself over the gate everytime I need to get in there. Any other suggestions for breaking her of this disgusting habit? I think she might have eaten her own in the yard but I won't know until tomorow when I check, it's dark out there right now. My kids now tell everyone they see that their dog eats poop. How embarrassing!

| I read on an earlier post about mixing some alfalfa sprouts and anise with their food. I mixed about 1/4 tsp of each with her canned food morning and evening for a week and she stopped snacking on it. |

Donating YT 11K Club Member | London used to do this too but I've noticed she does it less and less now, actually she doesn't do it at all anymore. i guess they do outgrow it.

| hello My puppy has been good about this because after he pottys I pick it up and give him a good boy treat so he is not really interested in snacking on his yucky.....

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I used Solid Gold's S.E.P. (stop eating poop) and it worked 100%. Not everyone has had the same luck, but it worked instantly for Wylie. We used it about a month, stopped, and he's never eating poop since.

| Well, the good news is that all of Sugar's poo was still in the yard this morning so she isn't eating hers, just the cats. The bad news is that the Solid Gold SEP can not be given to cats so I'll have to think of some other way to make the cat poo too disgusting for her to want to eat it...it's pretty bad when poo isn't disgusting enough on its own!

| Our Max was eating his poop for a while and then a friend suggested we mix a teaspoon of pinapple juice with his food. Didn't change the taste of the food but apparently makes the stool acidic and it will deter the dog from eating it. it worked for our little max. |
