| Thanks. I saw the other thread. I hate to admit that Max is eating his poop more than ever. In fact, he's now also dining on Cooper's. I just ordered this Digestive Aids: Drs. Foster and Smith Dis-Taste Stops Coprophagy Stool Eating and am really hoping it helps us.

| We did the pineapple for about 6 weeks. Max ate a ton of it. Cooper can't stomach that and he can't have pumpkin either. The pineapple slowed Max down, but didn't stop him. I don't remember reading about spinach.

We are trying fresh baby spinach added to their food. So far, no poop eating. Teddy only eats Daisy's poop and we think it's because she has a sweet potato based diet and IBD so he is getting undigested sweet potato. I am not permitted to add anything to Daisy's food per her specialist but he was OK with spinach. He then confessed he too had a dog that was a poop eater and I wanted to tell him about YT and the Poop Guru but I forgot!

| A note on spinach - it is a high oxalate veggie -- so not good for any dog that has had oxalate bladder stones. We are adding about 1 tbsp of chopped spinach to meals twice a day raw. They love it - Teddy eats his greens first.

I'd also like to know how to handle Max on a behavioral issue. He knows it's "wrong" to eat poop. I say "no, no" and if it's in the house he won't eat it. But now, outside there is no way of stopping him. He now rings the potty bell to go out and find Cooper's poop. He won't find any because it has to be cleaned up at once. Oh, I could go on and on but I must run to the grocery store!!

| That is a very good observation~if too much is going in one end it will come out the other less digesting (lacking a better word). Make sure you buy the chunks and not the tidbits. That way if you come back to the thread or ask for help we are talking about the same size pieces. Makes it much easier to "troubleshoot" issues.

| Just got home from the store and gave them a piece of spinach to see if they would eat it. Max took it no problem, Cooper spit it out. I stuck peanut butter inside one and wrapped it like a casserole and Cooper ate that. I don't think Cooper will eat it chopped up in his food. What are the amounts that they are supposed to eat? They are both 10 pounds.

| I feed about 1 tbsp of chopped baby spinach to all three of mine. Daisy is 7.5 lbs, Teddy 8, Barney 9.5. Mine eat it mixed in their food. On the behavioral thing - I taught Teddy the leave it command. It works and he greatly restrains himself on command. The problem is when I'm not around!!

Also - should the spinach help firm up Coop's poop? It's somewhat firm but he could use a little assistance. PEA CLUB - Poop Eaters Anonymous
