You can buy stuff to sprinkle on his shit which is supposed to make it taste bad. A pretty ironic product if their ever was. Why they do it is beyond me.

dont really know why they do it, some people says it to get the Vitmains out of it, others say because they are bored.Best thing get it up right a way, if they out in a kennel, take it for a walk after you fed it.?

the dog is eating the shit becouse it is /or was bored . if you clean the shit up it cant eat it , its not rocket science is it

Had the same thing with a terrier. Once on raw food, never did it again. A lot of tinned and dry food has stacks of flavour enhancers and preservatives in it so the crap still smells and tastes (to a dog!) like food!

Hmm, all our hounds are eating barf, never see a biscuit type meal, and they all do it & no matter what we try they won't stop. It ain't boredom either, there in peak fitness, but one things for certain they defiantly prefere the looser ones so I'm putting it down to when food travels through them quickly and isn't fully digested.

Get some yeast from the bakers and sprinkle some daily on it's food a vet told me many years ago to try it with a greyhound i had that done it...it cured the mutt of the dirty habit...ATB Andy.

Feeding the dog pineapple is supposed to make the shit taste bad to the dog. Don't know if it works but worth a try.

[Slipthebitch 9]

How old is the dog ? And if it aint a pup i would say low iron or low vitamins

[beddylurcher 70]

Iv been told to put a little pineapple juice in its food meant to stop them don't no why tho?
