ugh! puppy eating its poo

JAN · 07-09-2005, 04:33 PM

We have an 8wk old german shepard pup whom we noticed has just started to eat her poo. Any ideas as to why she would do this and what can we do to stop her??

Our boys do it to. It won't hurt her.

I guess you could try distracting her as soon as she is done so she doesnt even think about it, other than that I really have no clue!

Clean up after her, after she poops.

The PetEdge catalog has a product called Deter that stops dogs from eating feces. 60 tablets for 5.49, 120 tablets for 8.40 or 500 tablets for 22.37. The catalog subscription is free. htp://www.PetEdge.com Eating feces can turn into a serious habit to the point the dog will want to eat any feces he finds anywhere and that would lead to serious medical problems.
