Poop eater! i started to notice my yorkie eating his poop ! ewwww what could this be?! |
Oh no! I have no idea, im no expert. But i would love to know why also? |
I have heard of this before. I believe there is some type of pill you can give them that makes their poop taste gross (like it wouldn't already???). |
According to others on this board - feeding pineapple will stop that? I've also read on this board that eating poop is due to lack of potassium? Bailey used to do that when I fed her commercial dog food. Then I switched to a homemade raw diet with supplements - including potassium - and she does not eat her poop - ever. So there might be some truth to that potassium thing? |
Poop eating is more common than you might think:eek: If you do a search you will find tons of threads about it. Good luck:D |
I really enjoy watching It's Me Or The Dog. Last Sunday, I watch the TV show and the trainer gave an explanation why some dogs eat their poop. The trainer said if the dog eats a high protein diet then sometimes the dog might eat his poop. They can smell the protein in the food and think lunchtime. |

Jackson definitely will eat his poop outside (I've caught him! :eek:) and his food is semi-high in protein. Merrick's Before Grain, I believe, is 32% protein. |
the pineapple really does work...try that and they like it...i use the mushed up kind in the can |
Bella still eats her poop and it is disgusting, many at time I pick her up and she comes in to lick my face and I get the whiff! I have tried the pineapple and it does not work, can someone tell me the name of tablet that we can give them to make their poop taste bad? I spoke to the vet about it and he said that its not really a bad thing, they smell that there is still nourishment in the poop that has not been digested and that is why they eat it! I dont like it tho! Our neighbours cat uses our garden as a toilet (bless him) hahaha, Bella digs his poop up and eats it too... soooooooooo gross! |
You can get Forbid to sprinkle on the dog's food. |
