There is a link to another thread a couple of posts up. Buy the chucks and feed it to all your pups. It will not make their tummy upset but follow the directions in the other thread about how much and when to feed. PM me if you have more questions. It's easier to talk one on one since it's really not a one size fits all fix.

We need a Sticky. Seriously. I had no idea it was this common. Yorkies are gross

Your commitment to the challenges we face cannot be understated. Who else would take an individualized approach the way you do. YT is lucky to have you as part of the fabric (or diet?) of our community!! Hugs!!

I used fresh pineapple because I figure that there is less added sugar and will be better for them in the long run
The amount doesn't matter too much
But make sure they are given their normal food first so they aren't filling up on pinsapple

Did the pineapple therapy cure your poop eater?

The important part about feeding pineapple is to use it as a snack and not a meal. Canned pineapple or frozen works well and is convenient to feed so I always recommend either canned or frozen. I like to suggest to give the pineapple between meals usually starting with 2 chunks between each meal and make adjustments to the amount as needed. It is not a quick fix but if you follow the basic rule of observe and adjust you should see a gradual decrease in interest in the poop snacking.

Good luck- I feel your pain.

LOL, Megansmomma is known for so many things, her rescue work, (the crazy rescue lady) her advocacy of good breeding, (bitch) her wicked sense of humor, (bitch) and so many other things! Now "Poop Guru" is her latest label? Won't people just think she got that name because she's a crazy bitch who is full of . . . ?

Pineapple contains a digestive enzyme called Bromelain, which mainly digests protien. Tried this on my Yorkies, and did not work. You need to get a digestive supplement that works all all food groups.

I love these two products (the first one worked the best for stopping poop eaters)
Great Life Enzymes Pro
Great Life Enzymes Pro - Luke's All Natural Pet Food

Integrative Therapeutics Bio-Zyme
Integrative Therapeutics Bio-Zyme for Dogs and Cats

For stubborn cases, try adding this too! Worked on my yorkie. I found that if she eats too much veggies, she will want to eat her poop, so I give her this for times when she needs extra reinforcement:

Yes, my Mylee is among the best (or worst) of the poop eaters, I do admit (or brag). I choose to think of them not as gross, though, but rather one of the only breeds who are smart enough to help clean up their own messes.

I know, your investigative reporting skills rival with Geraldo!

A sticky wouldn't work, people have to see it one post at a time, or they would never believe it!

Thanks I have to get this under control.

Anyone know how to keep dogs from eating cat poop Other then putting up the litter box (my one cat has a bad back leg and if he tries to jump he normally falls)

Since I am the Poop Guru I am always interested in anything that has to do with poop eating. After reading the reviews of the last product you listed it is only about 68% effective in stopping poop eating. What is interesting is that it's either very effective or totally fails.

Just wondering if you are giving all three supplements? There are several ingredients that are duplicated in two of the supplements that you links.

I also noticed that Great Life Enzymes Pro - Luke's All Natural Pet Food has IRON added. Which is interesting since I believe that is the reason the spinach was suggested as a poop deterrent.

There are always other health issues like with the IBD that makes poop more appetizing. Since Daisy does not breakdown her food well it is basically a yummy treat when Teddy is looking for his fav snack. I have great hope for the spinach.
