PS. I heard about the banana thing from a Cesar Milan show - thinking he was maybe missing something from his diet. |
Eukenuda is high in grains and that might be a
huge part of your problem. The grains make it more yummy coming out the other end. Try to address the food issue and change to a higher end food and that alone might fix your poop eater. I feed Natural Balance Sweet Potato and Venison for all of mine. Pebbles is a reformed poop eater but that was
not the reason that I switched food for her. She has allergy issues and was scratching from the fillers in her old food so I switched to the LI food from NB. It does not have the fillers like Eukenuba and other grocery store foods. Do you have a Petco near you? That is were I purchase my NB, I do not believe that Petsmart sells NB brand.
Now that you mention Cesar I do recall that episode and remembered thinks I had never heard that before.
Not that I don't believe Cesar but I have read a lot about poop eating not because I still have a problem but more because it seems to be constantly brought up on YT and never came across anything about bananas.
Deter and Forbid are pretty much marketing schemes that are sold by vets and pet stores to make money. I just looked up the ingredients in Deter and guess what the main ingredient is
Natural Fermented Vegetable Extract, Thiamine Hydrochloride, Capsicum Oleoresin. It also says that it needs to be given for 2 to 3 weeks to see results. I was shocked at the price too~$35
A large can of pumpkin is $2.00 and pineapple is $1.25 and a jar of MSG/meat tenderizer is $3.00.
