| UPDATE: Today is day 3 of the poop-free pineapple method. This morning he pooped and caught it mid air. However, he spit it out!! He then gobbled some of it, spit out some of it, and I cleaned the rest as quickly as possible. This is the first time that he realized something was different. Thank you so much! I really think this method is going to help us.

| Pineapple is forever In our house, the minute we stop pineapple, Teddy Bumpkins starts his bad acts. So it's become an every day treat, and all three can tolerate pineapple and love it. Here is Teddy with his daily dose. See how easy rehab can be??

| Hmmm...will have to try this pineapple method. We have two Yorkies at home. The oldest has never been interested in poop but my 5 month old puppy on occassion likes to try her own or any kind of animal poop. I tried to figure out why she did it. It seemed atleast when eating her own poop she ate it when having an accident in the home and could care less about it if she went outside but it is so tough to really figure out why she does it. Will see if she'll eat some pineapple for me as a daily treat. So far she has turned up her nose to all fruits I have tried to feed her. |

| Check out this article for possible reasons 20 Reasons Why Dogs Eat Poop (Coprophagia, Pica) My baby used to eat his own poop but only when he had an accident inside so we figured that he's hiding evidence. Once he's potty trained to go outside, this behavior stopped. He never tries to eat his poop outside. And I always pick it up with tp and flush down the toilet so my lawn stays clean and he's not tempted to eat it. |

I've read things like this before so recently I asked the board certified vet nutritionist and she told me that coprophagia is a behavioral issue and that it is a myth that it is related to nutrition. Pineapple works for us, Teddy smells better with pineapple breath, so whether it is a myth or not, I keep a steady supply of pineapple chunks in our freezer. I think I have no less than 3 bags at a time!

| You can use the canned as long as its packed in pineapple juice.
