| After 5.5 years of battling the poop eaters, I have finally won! I home cook for mine and their recipe from my Vet-Nutritionist called for 1/2 teaspoon Konsyl fiber for each AM and PM meal. I did try it way back when, but it made the consistency too thick, so I went the Biopectin fiber route instead...Well BIG MISTAKE, I should have stuck to the Konsyl...For the past 6 months I have been adding only a flat 1/4 teaspoon of the Konsyl fiber to AM and to PM meals and like magic, we are a poop eating free house now... Not sure if the Konsyl makes the poop undesirable or if it makes my two "full" for the day that they don't want to snack, or a combo of both. Whatever the reason, all I can say is it worked! I wish I would have stuck to the Konsyl in the beginning... P.S. I have tried every product out there for combatting poop eating, every method and every technique. My did it bc they were bored and it simply became route and habit for them.... I still throw a YAY poop going into the toliet party and give a yummy treat for good poop behavior!

| I tried pineapple for a month with no success, then added brown rice and still nothing. Mine was a hard core poop eater. So I finally broke down and did the Forbid from the vet. I treated everyone for 2 full weeks and mine stopped and has not done it since. My guy came as a pup doing it, I think he learned from his mom. He ate his and everyone elses and decided it was better than dog food so I had to do the Forbid....

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | I don't know how you could have made poop eating hilarious, but you all have succeeded. I've got to stop reading this board during my work breaks. Now I'm going to have to explain to my colleagues why there are tears running down my face. |

I have read the that Psyllium fiber (Konsyl) swells to 10 times the amount inside you, so part of me think it makes them feel very full during the day. AND it seriously might do something to how the poop smells and/or tastes to them, because they poop and leave it It has truly been a miracle for me...this is something I have been fighting for so long and really prayed for it to stop | |

| I don't think fiber has anything to so with it because daisys diet had 16% fiber in it and when I have fed her diet to the boys, teddy stuffs himself like it's thanksgiving. Forbid failed us too. Even tobasco on the poop itself was no help. I've got a weird dog and he eats poop. What more can I do? I accept him with these and all his other shortcomings. I'll try the fiber TLC recommends. Why not, I'll try anything.

| I have Gia on ProPlan Select right now because it's dry and crunchy. However, should I be making my own food for her? If so, can someone give the recipe for a healthy dog food for puppies? Thanks so much! |
