I forgot to add....I've never had a problem with poop eating until last week. I caught Ricky munching his turds off his potty pad twice. I had changed a few things in his diet though...he was eating a lot of homemade chicken and rice and I also had changed his treats. He was eating Natures Variety Raw treats and Pupperoni's.

I am still feeding the treats, but I haven't fed him any chicken and rice and he stopped eating his poop. So...I think it was all of the chicken and rice that caused it. He had pretty much stopped eating his canned food and only wanted the chicken and rice when it happened. I am guessing that either a.) he wasn't digesting it well and so it still tasted good out the other end or b.) he wasn't getting a balanced diet eating only chicken and rice and he was looking for additional nutrients. Once I went back to feeding him the canned Wellness, it stopped. I also made sure to give him vitamins just incase he was deficient in anything.

Someone told me about SEP(stop eating poop) that Solid Gold makes. You can order it off Amazon for about $12.00. I am hoping we won't need it.
