Izzy tries to eat his poop too. Usually what I do is remove the poop from the pad after he is done and flush it down the toilet. The other day I didnt move it fast enough and he started to eat it. So just get rid of it immediately, out of sight out of mind! Hope this helps!:) |
I have a 8 mo. Maltese and a 6 mo. Yorkie who both eat poo. I have been giving them treats of pineapple tidbits everytime they pee and poo for about two weeks now and it is cutting down on the poo eating. I'm just beginning to see some results after two weeks. I used to feed them pieces of baby chicken sticks as rewards but now its pineapple, which they love. Every chance I get I stuff their little mouths with pineapple and they love it. I feel so evil...hehe...having an ulterior motive...but hey, they like it, I like it....we are all happy...and it's healthy...lol |
Msgabby- What kind of pineapple do you give them? I tried putting a little canned in their food and they turned their noses up at it. Do you use dried fruit? I bet mine would like that. Plus I could cut it up pretty small. Karma doesn't eat hers as bad as she used to, but I would like to banish the habit for ever. It's gross! Thanks for your input! |
Remy also did this every so often, he's now 7 mos, and i asked my Vet. she said that its just natural for dogs to want to sniff and eat what comes out of them (even throw up, they'll try to lick back up). she said just try to catch him and tell him 'no' each time, he'll eventually stop trying to or they will grow out of it. |
Poop :eek: Bailey has a fondness for Cat POOP. I like his kisses anyway, I just have to brush his teeth fairly often, like daily since he sleeps with us. I figure there must be something good tasting, at least to him in the :eek: POOP. Best wishes for Christmas to all from Bailey the POOP eater and his pet, Samc |

Eating Stools Stool eating can be attributed to behavior learned as a puppy. Every litter has a "cleanup" puppy who is required to keep the den clean. If your puppy was the one, then he's still doing his job. Try to make the stools distasteful to him by adding For-Bid (available online or through vets) or Deter (online or pet shops) to his food. Some people have success adding canned spinach. Stool eating can also be due to lack of food and or nutrients. If you are feeding a supermarket food, you should beef it up now. If you are feeding an alternative food, make sure it is professional. If your dog is not fat, you may want to increase the quantity of food. Vitamin supplementation is also a MUST! Stool eating is also a means of getting attention, good or bad. When you see your dog eating his or another dog's stool, don't say or do anything. Try to get to the stools before your dog does and add the hottest Tabasco or hot sauce you can find, so he rejects them on his own. Article by Dr Jane Bicks, DVM |
I started my four on Dis-Taste from Drsfosterandsmith.com. It seems to be helping. You have to give it at least two weeks to work too. Deter didn't work on them. I just change their food back to IAMs mini chunks from Nutri Natural. I couldn't stand the stink of their poop on the Nutri. I have better smelling air again. lol |
My boy had been a poop eater ever since I got him at 12 weeks old.He loves his poop, my budgie's poop and other dog's poop when we go out (he doesn't get to it but he tries to drag me to it).Now he is about 6 months old, he doesn't eat my bird's poop as much anymore and as for his own poop, I usually clean them up before he does anything unless at the odd times where he grabs one real fast and run top speed and eats them before I get to him. I sure hope he grows out of it. Its gross. |
dcelmo...I feed them canned pineapple, but I dont put it on their food. I buy the slices and cut them into small wedges (or buy the canned tidbits). I give it to them as a treat for going poo or pee on the potty pad or doing something I want them to do. They love it. It would taste gross on food....I would probably agree with them. |
Yes she's still eating it too. I don't knoe what else to do. I've tried all the suggestions that was given. No luck. It's very upsetting. She knows that she is doing it wrong. I try to get to it before she does but she is fast. :( . HELP. |

I read from one of the reputable breeders that she sprinkles a little meat tenderizer but that didn't seem to help. Maybe someone else would benefit from that tip. :) Keep me in the loop if anyone has other ideas to address this stomach churning Yorkie issue. |
