Sammy eats well, drinks lots of water, gets nutricious snacks and some fresh veggies like carrots now and then. The poo gets cleaed up as soon as I see it... I am not sure if those store bought addatives will work making the poo taste bitter.
He is only 5 months old - has anyone else seen their puppy grow out of this behaviour. I do have to learn not to get mad about it. He sneaks off to another room to either play  , chew on my armoire  or... eat poo  - he knows its not a good thing to do...
HELP! |
Winston used to eat poo too. I researched it and it's called Coprophagia (just means your dog eats poo). I bought Coprophagia Deterrence from Petsmart. It works. It's 1 tablet, crushed up in food, per 20 lb dog 2x a day. We use half a tablet for his size. When I walk him and if he sees another dog's poo, he still tries to eat it, so the Coprophagia Deterrence is something that he can smell on his poo & it stops him from eating it.
