There was a mill rescue that it even worked for but it did take time and effort. She would spin in a circle and eat her poop before it even touched the ground. It grossed her foster mom out so much that she was in tears. So I walked her through several weeks of pineapple adjustments and we watched her as she slowly stopped eating poop. At first she would pick it up and hold it in her mouth. Then she started to hide it in her doggy bed. Her poop eating was behavioral as well. But she is no longer eating her poop! It did take about 6 weeks or so before she totally stopped but it did work  Please don't write it off as something that you cannot stop because it does not matter the cause. Hardcore poop eaters have been cured! Puppymill dogs are notorious poop eater and she was totally cured  |
To be honest I haven't spent enough time, more than likely. The sad part is, my biggest offender isn't real crazy about pineapple. I do have two that eat it but one of them more than the other. I know I do need to spend more time and be more patient. I may pick up some sweet potatoe for my "not to crazy about pineapple" guy and see if he prefers that more. The other thing I might do is I make them homemade frosty paws that I put a crushed banana in the mix. I might try some chunked pineapple instead? Maybe if I mask the pineapple in the yogurt, he won't know it?
