| Help! Gunner is a poop-eater... This is so gross. He has his pee pad in the laundry room. He is almost completely housetrained, so I let him roam from time to time. This is what he does. He goes to his paper and poops, then he brings it back to the livingroom like a prize! He doesn't really eat it, it is more like he chews on it. Usually, I am right there to pick it up, but once in a while he manages to get it. Oh, as soon as he knows I know what he has in his mouth, he runs, usually under the table where I cannot reach him. I know there are things out there I can put on his food, but are those things safe? I read they put msg on food to keep them from eating it, but that is poison and I know most of the products out there have msg as a main ingredient. Any other natural products I can use to discourage this behavior? Thanks.

| Your boy Gunner sounds more and more like my Cookie Monster every day. It's stories like this that make me think it's not such a bad thing that Cook isn't pee-pad trained (only outdoors), haha.

| Have you tried probiotics w/digestive enzymes? It pretty much breaks down the food in the gut & absorbs all the nutrients. The poopies that come out is just waste, not an appetizing thing.

| I remember when I tried putting Fortiflora probiotic on Cookie's food for a few days. She HATED it.

| Yuck. Dorrie is always trying to get the cat poop. She's so picky with food, but poop and crayons, she'll eat! Blech!

| Karen, sorry for bringing up your old thread, you must be sick of seeing it by now. However, it is good for newcomers to know they are not alone with this problem even though it is shocking and disgusting at first. I had some probs with Meika, but it went away when I stopped adding home cooked chicken & rice to their kibble, and actually switched to a lower protein/fat kibble (Wellness Healthy Weight). I think maybe before there was too much "good" stuff passing thru, haha. Or maybe it was just a coincidence.
