His diet is only dry kibbles (Iams puppy food) and occasionally nutrical if he does not eat well. Today I bought "Deter" from Petsmart which are tablets for Coprophagia treatment. Has anyone used this medication and is it safe for puppies.
I am new dog owner and very inexperienced in these matters. We got max when he was 3 months old and he has been with us only 6 weeks.
What is the best way from preventing him from eating his own poop? |
OH MY GOSH ONLY ON YORKIE TALK CAN I FIND OUT THESE THINGS. I GOT MAX AT 3 MONTHS(MY FIRST PET EVER) MAX STARTED EATING POOP AT 5 MONTHS I BOUGHT HIM DETER AT 6 MONTHS BUT AS I READ THIS IM LIKE WOW I WROTE THIS. I DID A SERCH FOR THIS PROBLOME AND THIS CAME UP HOW FUNNY!
