| Ain't that just THE worst thing! We had quite the time of it. Tried two different powders and all they did was give her, um, loose stool. Pineapple did seem to help some. For the most part we just had to watch her like a hawk and snatch her up the second she was done. She did grow out of it thank goodness. Good luck!

| Thanks guys, my vet wants me to try the pineapple bits first. Gave her 2 tidbits , she loved it! Lets hope it makes her poop taste yucky. They said the same enzyme found in pineapple is in the powder "Forbid" you can buy. Guess I should have asked them before bugging you all! thanks again.

| I also make pineapple bits all natural dried pineapple treats we call poo nappers. They are 3.50 a bag so if they are cheaper than the vets just holler at me to order some. |

| I dont know what it does but it really works, I have a dog that did that for a while and we used that for a several weeks and it completely broke him of it. He doesnt do it anymore. Now bird poo is a completely different story, sometimes if he sees that I have to watch him.....ugh!
