So first and foremost - assess food situation. Get her on grain free, and higher protein. If I could recommend a kibble, it'd be Natures Logic Venison.
If she is already on the best possible food for poop-eating, then you move to using Solid Gold's SEP (Stop Eating Poop) or similar.
So, whatcha feeding? |
My lil crappie monster eats Fromm's Grain-Free Game Bird kibble. I was under the impression that this kibble is decent quality. Prior to Fromm, I was feeding both of them Orijen - but the kibble was too big for Casie. She likes to inhale her kibble. Because she never chewed the kibble, she'd regurgitate the large Orijen kibble after most meals. So I switched to Fromm, which is significantly smaller in size. I now soak it first so that even though she inhales it without chewing, she doesn't regurgitate her food after each meal.
I have this feeling, it might be just a stinky bad habit? It's kind of 'funny'. My previous dog used to eat her poop (but eventually grew out of it). Scottie would eat other dogs' poop at the park (and I assume everyone feeds their dogs different kibble). And now Casie eats her own poop. It's like all my dogs have a strange affinity for poop.

Ann is right, there's something in the food that's not digesting thoroughly & it still smells like food to them. |
Thanks for this info on Bromelain! Hmmm...does canned 100% pumpkin have any bromelain in it? I read that canned pineapple does not and only fresh pineapple does. I have a stash of canned pumpkin frozen in small pieces on hand for if they ever have upset tummies. If it contains bromelain, then that'd be perfect. Otherwise, maybe I can but some frozen pineapple..
