Hey there...I just posted something on this in someone's blog. He is not getting the balance of protein he needs and his food isn't digesting completely. So he smells the undigested food in his poop and he is eating it to get the nutrition. Feed him "fresh" pinapple after he eats his food. A couple of small pieces. It tastes great going down but bitter when coming out. He should stop eating his food then. Look on the board for ways to safely increast his protein intake. Mixing high protein food with his regular food.
Another reason pups/dogs do this is to immulate what they saw their mother do to clean up after them when they messed up their area after birth. However, if this is the case he would have started eating immediately.
Hope this helps. |
