| Eating poop I have a three year old and a one year old that I have had for about 8 months. They tend to start playing with their poop (inspite of a million toys and chew bones) and ultimately end up eating it if I can't catch it in time. I thought they would outgrow it but not really. I give them each 1/2 tablet of "potty mouth" but it has not helped. Someone recommended giving them a little piece of pineapple which I have also done with no success. Does anyone have any suggestions? |

| I heard that dogs may eat poop bc of a nutrient deficiency. What kind of food are you feeding them? Or they are eating the food too fast to properly digest. That is what I saw on Victoria's show anyway. She said to put the kibble down a few pieces at a time to make them eat slower. Or you can do trick training during mealtime, that way they only get one piece at a time. I don't like to add stuff to their food to make the poop taste bad, I would rather try to find out the cause first and change that.
