food and poop eating - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Right now we are feeding Nature's Recipe Easy to Digest formula because Chip has some gastrointestonal issues. Anyways, lately I've noticed that my two have been eating their poop. The other day even I was taking a nap so it was all dark and I look over to see Chip chomping on something so I take it away from him, turn on the light, and there it was... POOP! ICK! Anyways, I know some people put pinapple in the food. How much should we add, how often, and does it really work? I also thought that maybe the Easy to Digest formula might be TOO easy to digest and that maybe we should change formulas. Maybe I should try to feed the breed specific formula. They have one specific for terriers. http://www.naturesrecipe.com/DogProd...eed_dryTerrier

Opinions? Advice?

I do know that it is common for Yorkie pups to eat poop but most outgrow it. I don't know that the dog food would have anything to do with it.
