pineapple is supposed to work

i must admit the raw diet is best in my opinion, our dogs not only seem more healthy on it but there coats shine like silk, if you look into it, it really costs no more than dry food and you will have happy health dogs but thats just my thoughts.

i was going to ask the same question my lurcher pup is 4 months and eats his and other dogs if he is in the yard,now my patterdale pup 6 months has started doing it with him,i have to clean up as they lay them,its a vile habit makes me feel sick,going to try the pineapple cos the brush isnt working,i feed dry meal and have done for years and never had this problem,cant realy afford meat etc,i have often wonderd if its cos they wernt weaned properly(not given enough food as welps)tryed feeding them loads then it was sloppy and seemed even more tasty to them any other tips would be greatly appreciated as im going to part with them if i cant stop it,i have a young baby and cant risk the chance of blindness,

this problem can be down to a couple of things but usally a slight lack of nutrients in the food. or over feeding combined with fast matabalism they will grow out of it but in pups try feeding little and often with good meat and complete dry food mixed

My lurcher used to do that when she was a pup. I was advised to add some SA37 powder to her food and it did the trick ;)
