Thread: Eating Poop

I can identify with your being grossed out. My EB Ruggles eats Buster's poop. I wash out Ruggles mouth with the hose after he's had a tootsie roll snack. We've tried everything including switching Buster to the same food Ruggles gets (Ruggles doesn't eat his own poop or any other dog poop) to no avail. The success we've had is getting the poop cleaned up before Ruggles gets to it which means I go out with Buster for his morning poop and we split the dogs up for his afternoon poop. It is a royal pain in the butt!

Both my dogs are fed the same food and same amount daily, but only the youngest one eats his poop! It is driving me crazy and he is such a cuddly and kisses boy it grosses me out also, any other solutions for this since only one of my dogs is eating it.
Thank you

Thank you, I will see if I can get it here and will try for sure.

We had this issue for the first 6 months. Had to be quick about picking it up. He must have grown out of it cuz he just stopped all of a sudden.

I've heard others just say to pour hotsauce on it, but if you have time to do that, why not just pick it up. LOL

Sorry, wish I could be more helpful. I do know its more common in puppies and they should grow out of it.

I'm in the same situation as you are! I adopted two litter mates, and yes, they ate each other's poops.

I tried giving them banana and other things that were recommended in order to curb the appeal. None of them worked. LOL They just grew out of it. Don't sweat it. (Mine are 7 months old now)

Now they eat rabbit poop that they find on our walks! Blech...

Mine is 7-8 months old and still eating his poop! It drives me insane!! I am trying the banana and pumpkin. Hopefully it works or he just grows out of it as soon as possible!!
