So far so good! No poop eating for a week. But still have to watch her just in case.

Well I tried again. I went through my first bag of frozen pineapple and absolutely no change. Oh Max

He was able to sneak a snack while I was on the phone. At least he puts himself in his timeout cage afterwards

Wow, it didn't work? How old is your yorkie? How long has he been doing this? Mine is almost five months old and is 4 1/2 lbs. Ever since I had her at 10 weeks, she liked eating her poop. Been on the pineapples for a month and its working. They have these pills at pet smart I heard. ( nasty habit) I think, or forbid tabs. Some say they work. I give two frozen chunks of pineapple cut up bite size am, and pm meals. Good luck, takes about a week I heard to work. Keep trying.

I started this thread August 2010 when Max was 3 months old. So he's been eating his poop for almost 2 years. I've tried absolutely everything and the only thing that works is being with him all the time to tell him no. He'll listen, but he's sneaky.

Also, Max is 14 pounds so it's quite a bit of pineapple he needs and it still doesn't work!

Omg, what a pain it is. I still have to watch zooey, she seems unpredictable. Would she eat it if I'm not home? Who knows. Did you try the pills?

What pills are you referring to? I don't really want to give Max pills. We've been dealing with his little issue.

They're just liver pills at pet smart to help with poop eating dogs. Not a medication. Just a suggestion.

Thanks! I can look into that.

That's also quite a bit of POOP

Does anyones dog become sick after eating there poop? Mine vomits, shakes, and cries through the night if she eats it more then twice within 24 hours. She's three pounds should I still give her two chunks in the morning and two at night? She's had a lot of stomach issues. I think she had an allergy or intolerance to some of foods she was eating and now she's making herself really sick by doing this. I bought canned pineapple chunks couldn't find frozen.

My puppy doesn't get sick from eating her poo. Maybe she's allergic to pineapples. They say the frozen ones work much better, just cut them up so she doesn't choke. Maybe ask the vet why she's vomitting. My puppy and I are still working on this issue of poop eating. I use frozen. Have to watch her when she goes.

She's puppy Pad trained and I stay home with her. When I'm home I just follow her around all day and she never eats it because I can get it before she does and I'm usually right behind her when she heads to her pad. She vomited from it before I started trying pineapple. I started pineapple Friday. She's been really sick the last ten months had every test done and I ended up changing her food three times until I found a food that worked and I give her probiotics and digestive enzymes which all seemed
To make her stop vomiting. Now she only vomits when shes eaten poop a few times in a row. Which is when I leave the house. Her probiotics have a pineapple enzyme in them so I'm really hoping that it's the taste for pineapple that gets her to stop. She seems to tolerate the pineapple pretty good so far but unsure how much to give since she is 3 pounds. The food she eats makes her go potty at least five times a day so it's hard to plan when to leave the house around her potty schedule.
