OK, lots of dogs do
it and ALL humans hate it. Why do we do it? Well, I can’t give away too many
secrets (many things ‘dog’ we keep shrouded in mystery just to keep things
interesting), but here are some ideas:
Dog is overfed
Dog is underfed
Nutritional deficit
Boredom!
Messy humans (do you leave the poop
around?)
Medical problem
Scrounging (we’re scavengers,
remember?)
Just a habit…
So if you’ve got a
poop-eater, don’t send ‘em to the dog house! Let’s work through the options and
get your pup’s snack habits back on track.
Food additives,
like meat tenderizer and other powders and liquids you can buy over the counter
are used by some people, but these don’t really seem to work. Adding foods like
pumpkin, pineapple and other stuff to our food doesn’t really seem to help much
either (but I loves my pineapple!) Better save your money for some rawhides or
stuffy toys.
Better stuff to
try:
Feed on a schedule and don’t overfeed
Pick up the poop religiously
Walk your dog on leash to potty and
don’t allow access to the poop
Try a better quality dog food
If you try this
stuff and you’ve still got a black-snacker, give Barbara a call at 866-LUVADOG for
a customized problem-solving session!
