 Poop Eating - Not his own
Our little Yorkie all of a sudden has taken to eating poop from other dogs (possibly cats) when we go for walks.
It just started a few weeks ago. At first it was easy to spot, if we saw him paying too much attention to something in the grass, we'd give his leash a yank (he's on a harness) and keep him moving on. Then if he'd pick up a piece before we could give it a yank, we'd tell him no and he'd spit it out.
Now he's taken to grabbing the poop and scarfing it down as quick as possible. Once its in his mouth he won't let go. Telling him no won't do it, and trying to pry his mouth open resorts in poop all over his face hair.
Any suggestions? The pineapple trick won't work, since its not his poop he's eating. He eats Evo as his daily food (its the only food our other dog will eat that doesn't make her puke) and he's been on it for months, and gets treats of chicken jerky and other dog treats once or twice a day. We also occasionally give them fresh sprouts or lettuce (which he likes to eat). |
