Puppies can be especially adept at doing this nasty habit....keep poop picked up as soon as possible....you can also add stuff to their food that makes the poop taste horrible:
Off-the-Shelf Deterrents
By making your dog’s poop taste really, really bad, the following products will deter your dog from eating his own waste.
Deter
Forbid
Potty Mouth
Do-it-yourself suggestions to help you stop your dog from eating his own poop include:
*Coat stools with hot sauce or lemon juice.(You have to put some on each poop....if I am down there seasoning turds, I would just as soon pick it up!!!)
*Add a few tablespoons of canned pumpkin to his food bowl each day. Pumpkin tastes good in food, but disgusting in dog poop.
*Add meat tenderizer to your dog’s food (it will make the dog waste taste VERY bad).
*Canned crushed pineapple taste terrible to them once passed into stool.
I have used all these with some good results! Some work better than others....some work with one dog and not the next....and it takes a day or so to work ....perhaps coats the intestine and it is then dispersed into the stool, so AS USUAL, dont expect IMMEDIATE results....may take a day or so.... |
