Pup eating her own poop.... =P

[ChinaMan]

Hi All,

I have a problem with my pup.... she sometimes "cleans up after herself" if you know what I mean.

I feed her twice a day - once in the morning and once in the evening. She's about 5KGs now... 5 1/2 months old... The Vet tells me it's not harmful but still, it's disgusting..!! :eek: It doesn't always happen but still...

What causes this and how do I remedy it?

Thanks!

Dot did it also, happily she does not do it anymore, but sometimes the poop of other dogs she (and Mo) will find quite tasty :eek:

I feel your pain! Adora has the same nasty habit. GROSS!!!!!

There are some remedies for it that do work though - Deter brand Coprophagia Tablets (which I use on Adora) and For-Bid (granules) which are the two main mass produced treatments. But, I'm not sure you can find them where you are!

I have read to put meat tenderizer in their food or "booby trap" their poop with hot sauce.

Most people say that it's a puppy thing and they will grow out of it. They are likely just doing it because they're bored or simply like the taste (I'm gagging just thinking about it).

What a delightful post! :lol: Abby and Ferris never did eat their own poop, thank goodness. I did catch Abby muching happily on rabbit droppings a couple of times. I don't like having rabbits in the yard (they carry ticks)...so when I see them I just let the two bullies out and the chase is on. The rabbits have learned to stay away. Carolyn

I agree - this is a really funny post :lol:! My two don't eat poop either - knock on wood! But today I did catch Gigi intently watching and smelling Lola's behind as it "came out," :eek: but am glad to report that after it was on the ground she lost all interest. That was a funny sight after all these posts :D

Before I became a "dog person";I mean a going to dog show;being friends with breeders ; really switching to people who liked dogs as friends ;person.Some topics were verboten

Now,NOTHING including talking about POOP :lol: at the dinner table seems to be acceptable :lol: Oh how life has changed appicon

[franp]

I meant people who liked dogs; as my friends.NOT dogs as MY friends... I do have dogs who are my friends.

As my friend Beth and I say ; there are three kinds of people; people who do not like dogs; people who have dogs because it is the "thing to do" and then people who are DOG people.

I am a DOG person :D . My friends are dog people...And talk about dogs eating poop at the dinner table . Not thier dogs eating poop at the dinner table. (This is getting silly :lol: )

Fran...hahahaha...

Let's just say......"dog people who like dog people don't mind talking about poop during dinner hours and don't find it strange" :lol: :lol: :lol:

LOL! Oh the things we dog people discuss. I never thought I would be talking about poop and the eating of in a public forum...

When I only had cats I still had a shred of dignity...but it's gone now for sure.
