I keep Royal canin dry food out all the time and they get Ceasar wet dog food anytime they want it and sometimes raw chicken , they love raw chicken. My dogs are not overweight and have never had any illnesses. i think sometimes people get carried away with the text book readings and just dont feed their dogs enough. I learned this thru breeding and raising field trial Brittanys for 15 years, they would eat their poop if not fed enough of the right foods. |
Well this is definitely not the case at my house- I have 6 Yorkies
-1 Poop eater
( 7 mo old female Sophie) and they all get the same food and there is always food and water down for my dogs . She is the only one that exhibited this kind of behavior.
I used Deter - it works BUT you have to double the dose ( just like it says on the box) for the first week for it to have an effect. I first started out with reg dose and no effect so I doubled and it stopped her. Now I just give her a 1/2 tablet a day. She loves it and that makes it easy as she sits wanting me to get it out of the pantry.
