| We bought these tablets at petsmart when our dogs went through the poop eating stage and it worked but I don't remember what it's called...I'm sure you could ask for assistence from and employee and they would know exactly what you were talking about It's only a stage....it will pass...the tablets help a lot!!!

| Hallie used to do that too! How can something so cute eat poop? It grossed me out so I would follow her to do her business and quickly get her attention when she was done and give her a treat. That worked for us but only because she was on such a regular schedule I knew just when it was time for her to go. |

| The last time I went to the vet with Benji the Dr. gave us this powder called "F-ORBID". You sprinkle a 1/4 of the package on his food. It is odourless and tasteless and Benji has not been turned off from eating his food. Apparently, it makes his poop taste like a "nuclear warhead". We have left him alone in his play pen and the poop is still there! Seems like it is working. You may want to look into it. Good luck. |

| When some of mine did that I used Meat tenderizer. I put it on their food for a long time and it stopped them from eatting poop. |
