I've had a lot of experience with this. Some people say it could possibly be the food we feed. I've changed Betty Boop's food so many times that I've lost count. Then, I read on The Dog Whisperer's website that dogs that eat poop lack Potassium in their diet. I started feeding the Boopster bananas and sure enough it seems to have helped. She very seldom does this nasty thing anymore. You know, I think she just grew out of it. Another opinion is that I think they are smart enough to want to hide it from us because they know better than to do it in the house, and the only way to hide it is to eat it. I've found the best way to keep her from eating it is to just pick it up, if at all possible, before they eat it.

There is a medicine called Copraban the vet can prescribe that might help. I just didn't want to give it to my dog. You can Google it. This disgusting habit is called Coprophagia.

I'm sure others will have a lot of input on this, too.
