| Help- puppy eats poop!!! My 8 month old yorkipoo is eating her own and her sister's poop! I feed her Canidae food so it's not exactly cheap/non-nutritious food! Does anyone know what the powder you can sprinkle over their food to make their poop taste bad or whatever (um doesn't it taste bad anyway??). What I think is really weird is she's eating her OWN poop mostly- any help/advice would be appreciated!! (I've heard of the pinapples thing but would like to avoid it because my pups have sensitive tummies as it is...) |

| I have heard if you add something like a certain meat tenderizer or sprinkle some on it , it will leer them away ... do a search on here for that and I promise lots of great info will come back... sometimes they do it because they are missing certain nutrients in their food other just as habit... |

| Don't feel like you're alone. Luckily we never had that issue with Gizmo, but I'm sure someone will jump in with great advice soon. It's a very common issue. A yucky one, but common.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I have 2 out of 4 poop eaters and Roxie eats my pom's poop if I don't catch her and then gets so sick. Pixie is over 2 and still eating poop. I got Forbid from the vet but it has wheat gluten in it so I have been afraid to use it. I thought they would grow out of it my Pom did.
