You can start with feeding 1 or 2 pieces of pineapple as a snack twice a day. If they are still showing interest after a day or so you can increase this to an additional piece or two. When they poop you need to pick it up or they just might be tempted to snack on a steamy loaf. But over time they will become less interested, might try to pick it up in their mouth or play with it since it has also become a habit. Once you find they are showing less interest you have found the proper amount to feed. In addition to the pineapple canned pumpkin is also a good additive to help as a poop eating deterrent. A tsp, of packed pumpkin to their kibble is all that is needed. I have always suggested the canned chucked pineapple. If you have multiple dogs you need to need to all so that all the poop is treated not just to the poop eater. 
A would like to add that anyone that has tried this and found success have been very diligent about feeding it on a daily basis and doing so consistently over a period of several weeks. llcornell had a puppymill poop eater that would spin and catch her poop before it hit the ground and she was able to get her to stop by feeding pineapple. 
They will not get sick from eating pineapple or pumpkin. My three who are not poop eaters love pineapple.  |
Ummm...can I just say thank you for better explaining the "pineapple" process!
Can I also say what a big dum
dum...I am! So...as I'm reading this it finally dawns on me that I didn't give the pineapple "enough" time to work...not to mention I ONLY fed it to Bella
Boo (for a short time) even tho' she's eating ANYBODY'S pooplets.
Pineapple will become our new treats to ALL who leave pooplets for Bella
Boo to consume...not just our Miss Pooplet
Eater!
ps...I will add that because of Bella
Boo it has forced us to be extremely vigilant to bag pooplets almost immediately as they're deposited...thus, we have the cleanest lawn in town for having 3 Yorkies!
