So my recommendation is switch their food to something you normally do not feed, it will take about a week to see a change. We have done this with our Yorkie and with our Brittney Spaniels and it has always worked. And with our oldest Brittney who will be 11 this year there has only been 1 -2 times we have ever had to switch.
If that does not work I don't know.. I will say it has only worked to stop them from eating their own poo, the cat poop is still a delicacy. |
I don't know if there's anything to this idea or not, but Abby and Baby Girl eat poo and it just happens to be that they only eat Gracie's poo. Gracie has a diet of mostly chicken and rice because of her stomach problems. She also takes her med mixed in pet tenic which both the others like the taste of very much. I'm wondering if her poo smells like these things to them and that's why they like it so much. Who knows, I just wish they would stop because it's so blame nasty and their breath will stop a train. And they hate getting their teeth brushed!
