Eating poo

Wow that is a good one I have heard of dogs eating their own poo that is easy to stop. Are you sure It is not cat poo dogs love that. The only way I can think of is getting yo it first and putting a Little alum on it. Dog hate the taste of slum. After awhile he may think it all taste like that and leave it alone. you may also try some Bitter yuk. Hope he does not want to kiss you after his tasty poo treat....

Might have been cat poop.

I know hiking he LOVES horse poop. Horse poop isn't so bad as it's mostly grassy and earthy smell but normal poop

If I find it I put tobasco on what he can't chew or eat that works really well

Oh no! Animals can be so gross sometimes! lol.

Bauer has gotten into the garbage a couple of times and he seems to enjoy licking poopy diapers clean... ugghhh... So nasty!! But I have never seen him even attempt to eat his or any other animal's poop. Hope the Tabasco works!

My dog used to LOVE rabbit poo and it always would make her sick to her stomach. The only thing I could do was really watch her when she was outside and really scold her if she sniffed around it.

Now my new puppy that is nine months old now will eat her poo...gross! So I have been putting hot sauce on it and that works really well and I just bought a liver flavored treat that will deter her from eating it also. Seems to be working.

Our past dogs use to love to roll in it, bath time!!! The only poop our dogs & our son love to eat is deer dropings, and they would all scoop up those little pellets of poop like the were appies!

Some dogs get into the habit of eating poop. My last episode was swan poop. It is however a good idea to look at their diet and see if anything is missing. Dogs will eat poop when short of some nutrient or another. Do, talk to your vet. Other than that it is a training issue.

Kitty 'chocolates' are the only poo that I can't persuade Molly to leave alone and since my son has 3 cats and 3 cat boxes I have to watch her like a hawk when I'm over there.....can't do much else I guess!
BTW.....hot sauce does't work with a dog that will eat mexican food Hahaha!!!! Molly was raised by a hispanic family..................I tried the bitter stuff too......I swear this girl has selective taste buds when cat poop is involved LOL! Other animal poop (possum,skunk and coyotes,& whatever else from our canyon) she just rolls in....vigorously!!!!

Grace prefers Dead fish to roll in. A very persistent and delicious perfume. And she just LOVES chilli and spices.

My dogs never touch dog poop, but they love deer pellets. Since they run free at least twice a day in a four acre meadow, it's impossible to keep them away from it. I asked our vet, who said his own dogs eat poop too. He said heartworm meds treat for intestinal parasites as well, so it isn't really a problem, other than the ick factor. I'd prefer to stop the medicine during cold weather, but, because of the deer, I keep the dogs on it year-round.

 

[Caddy]

OH YES Eric, I forgot the dead fish, our Gracie use to love rolling in those too!

Both my girls love rabbit and deer poo. I can't stop it, I now try to find it first and bag it.
