eating poop...

Dogs eat poop. It's gross, but they do it. Raika came running up to me one time with poo smeared in her front teeth...it was so nasty, but I had to pry a piece of poo out from the top of her mouth with a paper towel. I think it was from the catbox, but she eats her own too given the chance. I don't think it hurts them...it just grosses us out! 
Is she eating her poop? Or cats poop?
It is something that dogs do but sometimes an upgrade in food quality can help.

Well we went to Petsmart today (puppy school) and got a "stool deodorizer plus" that is supposed to stop stool eating. But when we got home it says for dogs only. I don't know if that means no puppies so I emailed the company to find out if it is too strong for her belly. Hopefully it isn't and it will help!
Cocoa does the same thing, there is a pill out there called "deter" that will stop the puppy from eating their own. It doesn't work as far as getting them to stop eating others unless you give the pill to the other dog. What we have decided to do (which was suggested by a great lady), is when one of the other dog goes poop and Cocoa goes for it, I show her a handful of treats and then toss them out into the yard (away from the poop) and she concentrates on that. She doesn't seem to like old poop, it has to be fresh out of the butt. LOL Anyway, that had been working for a few months but now she is back at it, so I'm back to throwing treats in the yard, it is like a great big scavenger hunt for her. Give it a try.
I have found that nothing works to stop poop eating My female pug has always done it and always will! We just got to the point where we follow each dog around with the poop scoop and hold it under them when they are going...this way, she can't get a hold of any LOL!! I have tried the pills, powders and they don't work. She has always eaten the best food around and that doesn't help either. I have always fed Solid Gold, Canidae and now she's on Innova Evo. All poop is yummy no matter what to her!
