or just pour your soup over the cat poo... no way will touch it then!

the cheek!

Hi, I have two labs one 9 one just a year old and I was interested to read your thread because my pup eats the older dog's poo!!! He literally waits for older dog to perform and then dives in to eat up. I, of course, was horrified and so am keen to try the deter remedy that was suggested. I did wonder in my situation though if this was a dominance thing on the part of the pup as he also stalks older dog in the park and lunges at his ears and tail continuously. I would be interested to hear other people's views. My older dog I have to say wees on the pups head from time to time probably to get his own back!

Maybe I just have two kranky dogs?

Many thanks , I am brand new to the site today and delighted to have discovered you all.

I have looked into this quite alot and there are many different reasons for dogs eating their own and other dogs poo but the best way to end this behaviour is to make the poo taste foul to them. Try feeding your dog the Deter tablets or as Loe said mix in some pineapple with your older dogs feed as this has the same affect as the tablets although I have never tried it.... the method that is not eating dog poo

you woud have thought that the poo it self tasted bad enough, then dogs do have strange eating habits

lol...so funny

My dog used to eat the poo from other dogs when we went to the park. She used to be running around and get it in her mouth and run off somewere else to eat it.. Ughhhh.....
She would never eat her own.
It went on for ages. She even caught some sort of disease from it. In the end i bought a muzzle for her to wear everytime we went to the park. She was not impressed...
But it stopped it from happening.

Our Labrador Jade has a thing for eating her own poo too, she loves it!!, She also likes to eat her kennel mates, horse, cat and rabbit poop too. All my dogs Lurve rabbit, cat and cow dung

To be honest it doesnt bother me. They are all fed a quality food, exercised regularly, wormed , healthy and happy. I sometimes wonder if it is a natural behaviour...most carnivores eat the intestines , stomach and poop of their prey and i wonder if this is an extention of that natural behaviour?

Still not nice when thy kiss you afterwards though {{{{Bleurghhh}}}}}
