You could do two things, up the amount of pineapple and make sure your giving it to her when she's getting the protein, otherwise it won't work. The other thing you could do is find a different food with easier to digest protein. There are dogs that eat poop for other reasons, and the pineapple would have no effect upon them. Some dogs eat it out of boredom, while others want to hide the evidence. What food do you use? |
Nancy, what protein is easily digested? Are some better than others? I feed BB Freedom (chicken). Tatiana has tried to eat poop, too. I catch her before she gets to it. I understand this is normal, but disgusting behavior for puppies up to a year.
