| Eating Poo!! TJ has decided to take up a new habit, eating his own poo!! He doesn't do it if I get it up right after he goes, but if I don't catch him, he starts to eat it. It is really gross! I mean, I don't want him licking my face now! How can I train him not to do that? I tell him "NO" when I see him doing it, but that just isn't cutting it! Does anyone have any advice? |

| If you are talking about the deter I believe so. I haven't used it but have read about others using it with success.

| At BJ's you can get a large container of Accent, the MSG product that is used as a flavor inhancer. Don't make a listake and thing a meat tenderizer is the same. IT IS NOT. It can have some MSG but the purer the stuff the better. Add it to the marning food.. It is supposed to make their poo taste bad--I cannot speak to the truth in that..But, I have used the product in the past. I am not sure if it worked or if they just got tired of eating it.. I keep telling ine if I KNEW I could count on them I recycling "it" I would feed half as much..OMG, that is gross.. |

| Lady eats her poo,and if she's not eating it she's playing with it.I always see it on her bed.It's not just hers,she'll take it from the other two too.She's the only one that does it.The other two just run when they see.But not Lady,she tries to beat everybody to it,like she got some kind of treat she's hiding from them.Her bed always smells like poo and I also see crumbs too.Sooo Gross, We use the powder our vet suggested,it worked when we see the poo.But most of the time we don't notice when she goes and that's when she snatches it up.Hopefully they grow out of it

| Dogs generally pick up the bad habit of eating their own poop in the Winter because it freezes. Then they play with it or eat it like a poop sickle. It is a gross habit. They are not deprived of anything in there diet. The only way to stop this from happening is to pick up the Poop before they can get to it. As far so I know there are no pills I have ever heard of that work. I know that didn't help at all. Cause we are not always watching them every second. Wendy@newyorkies.net |

| Just don't let her get into the cat poop put it up some where so she can't get into it. Rabbit poo I don't know that is kinda hard cause you never know where the rabbits have been. But they can get intestinal parasites from rabbit droppings. And from cat poop to if they have intestinal parasites. Just keeping them away from it is the best advise I can offer. It is just a gross habit they pick up. Wendy@newyorkies.net |
