| My puppy Simba LOVES to eat her own poopoo! Simba is 14 weeks right now and she loves to eat her own poo ! If I walk her outside, she doesn't eat it, only when she is in the house, she even picked up the poo and put them in her bed! I tried to clean up after her business, but sometimes, I just can't catch it! Any advise? Thanks! |

| Sofia used to do this too, so gross. I started feeding her a little crushed pineapple and she stopped. Just a little bit with every meal, after a couple months I stopped and she never went back to doing it. Now I give the pineapple as a treat and she loves it. Make sure it is packed in juice, not syrup, way too much sugar. Good luck. |

| Simba is adorable! I can't picture that little sweeting eating something so yucky! I have also given garlic tablets and has helped. You can find them at Petco/Petsmart, but she looks awfully tiny so I wouldnt know how much to give her, one tablet seems to much for such a lttle furbaby! I also had heard that pinapples works. One of my kitties name is Simba and I bet he's twice the size of your little one, Good luck and welcome to YT!

| Mine used to do that all the time when she was little. We tried the pineapple, but it didn't work for her. I found Solid Gold S.E.P. and that did the trick for us. |

| ah! I have a similar problem. I have two yorkies. One is 2 in half yrs old and the other 26 weeks. The 26 week old doesn't eat her own poop but she's constantly on the older yorkies tail trying to catch it before it drops. SO GROSS...They're both wee wee pad trained since I live in an apt but I can't always catch him go. HELP! |

| My puppy started this when we first got her. Putting things in her food didn't work because she was the pickiest eater ever. She just outgrew it and I think the fact I yelled at her and it scared her did the trick also. Poor baby, but it worked. |

| To be honest, I didn't want to open this thread - only because I read the title and saw that there was a picture attached. I really didn't want to see a picture of a dog eating poop - LOL! But when I saw that adorable little face - OMG - I can not picture that cute little thing eating yukkie stuff. Anyway, I did hear that the pineapple will help also.

| If the pineapple doesn't work, try canned pumpkin. We feed ours pumpkin daily and its the only thing that worked for them. I do have to "mix" the pumpkin with the food for two of them, they will just eat around it. We only had one "poo" eater, but have to feed them all pumpkin. If we don't then he will eat theirs and just not eat his own.
