Now, we have a labrador puppy, who does not eat his own, but wants the little dogs poop, this grosses me out soooooo bad! But he only wants the two dogs who dont chew their food. am i crazy or does this make any sense? The one who does chew his food well, he doesnt touch this poop!!! I have been cleaning up poop like crazy to keep this from happening, however this morning, still half asleep i let them out to go potty, and i watch from the porch with no shoes on, and the lab waits for our jack Russell to go potty, as soon as he is done he wanders over and eats the whole pile!!!! Makes me almost puke , as i run thru the yard barefoot yelling no and he acts like he doesnt even hear me. Which also makes me crazy, cause in the house he listens to no so well!!! Then i let out farley, our yorkie, and i let him in and he is eating his own poop!!!!!
Sorry for such a long post, but i have been looking online all morning for solutions to my problem! And it makes me so mad at them, i dont want them on me or near me after it happens, its so dirty and gross. I know its not that harmful to them but its just gross |
You know now that you mention this it totally makes sense cause my German /sheppard used to eat my min pin poop always and Harley always just swalloded food without chewing, so possibly thats why he was eating it!!!! but Mia always chewed her food but try the pinapple chunks it worked for me i would feed her 3 chunks a day and she loved it lol
I also tried detour that u buy in pet store but it did nothing for her
is it coincidence that she quit eating her droppings or did she outgrow it i am not sure but hopefully its a thing of the past lol
Good luck
