Meat Tenderizer-Won't Eat Poop? :confused: My vet metioned using some kind of meat tenderizer in Sophie's food so she won't eat her poop. All I can remember is maybe Sultan's something meat tenderizer. Does anyone know? |
No idea, but I have tried Deter and anything to make it undesirable to turn around and chow down. It totally grosses me out. Kylie can not help herself and if I don't pick it up in time she goes for it like candy. ew! :tongue4: If you find something that works let me know. It is worth a try!! Deter seems to work but on some occasions I still find her back to old habits. I hope she grows out of it. |
Maya m yPom ate her poop when she was a puppy and the vet said you can use meat tenderizer or Forbid which they had and they were pretty much the same thing. It did work. |
we had to do the same. Our vet recommended MSG, it's a bag you can find in your grocery store that's looks like sugar. IT's like a $1 per bag and you put a tiny bit in their water. Works for ours. It's used in human foods, and i've noticed when I eat foods with MSG, it makes me so thirsty and I've noticed our dog drinking more when we put this in her water. |
I asked my vet again and she said it is Adolph's Meat Tenderizer that you put in their food. It is frustrating because Sophie is on meds for Coccidia and Giardia and she keeps reinfesting herself by eating her poop:( |
Product for Poopie eaters My friend swears by Solid Gold SEP (Stop Eating Poop). I have had no experience with this problem so it is only word of mouth but it might be worth a loop up! |
I'm confused about MSG. I thought it wasn't good for people so how come it's good for our babies? |
Interesting posts. Would like to see more input on this subject. |
Dealing with poop eating and Giardia I am battling Giardia with Bella and Colby. They are both on meds for it and they are both still eating poop. EWWWW We tried the meat tenderizer but it only made them throw up a few minutes after eating their meal. The doc is ordering Forbid for us to try. Anyone had any luck with this? The Giardia has been an ongoing battle for over a month now. I am getting very weary as you may imagine. They are on meds for three more days and we shall see if it has cleared up or not. I am afraid they keep re infesting themselves with it. Thank goodness they are healthy otherwise. I have to be very careful especially with Colby as he is only 2.5 lbs at almost 5 months. Any help from you guys would let me regain my sanity!!!! |
I bought some stuff at the petstore called potty mouth, I liked it because it was a chewable table instead of the stuff you sprinkle on the food...Ginger quit eating it, but, would still go over and take a bite, then wouldn't eat it, but would still play with it..I've got 4 of them trained on pee pads, she seems to know before I do, if they're in there going, and is ready and waiting...Hope no one is eating lunch and reading this..I got the meat tenderizer(the kind without anything added to it) and also put that on their food, like I said both things seem to work, but they may still want to play with it.. |
I used the Adolfs meat tenderizer because Spike was a big poo fan. He had it in his mind that Sugar's litter box was his personal buffet.:eek: It worked great for us. I used it for about 2 weeks and never had to use it again. |
I use the Solid Gold SEP (Stop Eating Poop) and it works for me. |
Poop-eating We are struggling with this issue right now. I have two pups--Gabby and Izzy. Gabby is the poop-eater in this house! This is so embarrassing to admit my baby has this problem--she will eat both her own and Izzy's! She is not interested in any strange deposits in our yard, however. We have deer, racoon, and who knows what else leaving their calling cards--she'll roll in that, but won't eat it (thank God!) We are putting meat tenderizer on their food right now, along with a pill called Distaste, and plain yogurt, which was recommended by a friend. It helps somewhat, in that she'll start the behavior, realize it tastes bad, and then stop. She can't seem to learn not to try it in the first place, though. Other things that I heard about and am going to try next are canned pumpkin and canned pineapple. I hesitate about the pineapple, I don't know if that might upset their stomachs. I'm going to try the pumpkin as soon as the container of yogurt is gone. Good luck on solving your problem. Let us know if you find a solution. Gayle in Illinois |
Pineapple juice works well too. Lexi is a poop eater, so we add some to her food every few days. It makes her smell all fruity! |
helpful thread I'm so glad we are having a dialogue about this disorder. Looks like there may be quite a few of us battling this. Could you tell me why the pineapple juice? Does that make their poop taste bad enough not to eat it? (as if it wasn't bad anough already!) |

any special pineapple juice? or any? |
I had a friend with a french bulldog that had coccidia and kept reinfecting himself by eating his own poop...He tried everything from quickly squirting very hot sauce on the poop, to the meat tenderizer, to pumpkin...Solid Gold SEP finally did the trick! |
I have 2 pugs and 1 of them has this problem but I have to treat both because the 1 that eats poop, he eats his brothers and his own.. ugggg. We have tried Deter, Hot Sauce, Stop eating poop and forbid. They all work for a little bit and then he goes back to eating it.. He will be 2 yrs. and the end of this month. They both eat high quality food. Its just something he can't break at least for now. |
I'd caution anyone using meat tenderizer, Deter, Solid Gold SEP or like products that contain MSGs (or Glutamic Acid or monosodium glutomate). There are many adverse reactions associated with MSG consumption. MSGs are NOT healthy if consumed in large quantities. That is why many Chinese Restaurants which used to put MSGs in their food now advertise that their food is MSG-free. This is from a CNN article referencing a WebMD article and discusses human reactions to MSG but it seems that certain ingredients can cause reactions in both our pets and ourselves: Quote:

Mine will never eat it outside, but if the weather is bad they will go on the pad and two of mine think it's a treat...yuk!!! I pick it up right away, but it hasn't stopped it and it's been 2 years at least. I've tried the Forbid and Distaste and nothing works. What about the pineapple juice. How much are we suppose to give them and how often without it upsetting their tummies? |
I have 4 dogs. Only one of them eats poop, but ONLY from one of our dogs!! I don't understand why in the world he only eats her poop & doesn't bother anyone elses'! They all eat the same dog food, so I think that is really weird!! He will actually stand with his nose on her bottom when she drops the poop & catches it before it hits the ground! I am completely grossed out by this!!!!! :tongue4:Does any body else have a picky poo eater?? Should I use meat tenderizer in their food to stop it? |

I'm going to try the pineapple juice. He doesn't do it that often anymore. My son says, Ma, Sammy's recylcing!! I didn't think it was too funny. Must be a male sense of humor thing. I had tried plain yogurt but that didn't work. |

Give your dog a couple of small pieces of pineapple a day. |

As a few people have said I would try pinneapple. You could buy the canned pineapple, but also buy fresh and cut it into small pieces. I have also heard of pumpkin. You can buy pumpkin puree in a can and give that to them. I puppy sat a golden retriever and he had a poop-eating problem. The owner had a pumpkin puree and I took less than a teaspoon and watered it down. Then I took a syringe and gave it to him, almost like a treat. I don't know if it was the pumpkin or it was a stage he just grew out of, but he stopped eating his poo in about 2 weeks. |
I tried the meat tenderizer, pineapple and pumpkin. Nothing worked. My big boy Hobbes will only eat my female Tessie's poop, unless I am very fast. My vet tells me Hobbes smells the undigested food and also trying to be the dominant dog over her. Calvin just smells poop but doesn't eat it. |
