HELP!! CaLi is eating her POO!!!!!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

meeshie · 01-31-2012, 08:50 PM

Can someone please lend some insight as to why she is doing this. I have caught her a few different occasions chomping away. It's disgusting. She is not under fed, so I can't imagine this is because she's hungry. She takes her turds from the wee pad into her bed and snacks on it. What do I do? also any recommendations for doggie toothpaste would help as well....thanks guys!

a lot of dogs do it...you can sprinkle some meat tenderizer on her food and supposedly it makes the poop not so "tasty" and they're not suppose to eat it...dogs have a better sense of smell and sometimes their digestive system doesn't break down all the nutrients and they smell it in their poop...this is where people will suggest feeding her some pineapple or can pumpkin which will have break down her food better so that it's nothing but waste that comes out...mine are starting to do this so i am now putting meat tenderizer on their food and feeding them each 2 chunks of pineapple for treats...and they love the pineapple...so will we see..
