    My parents have a puggle that use to eat his own poop. The vet gave them some pills to give him to make him stop (not sure what they were).
    My younger brother says " What do the pills do? Make his poop taste bad?" :lol::lol:

    I've noticed most dogs have a fondness for cat shit...
    My parents use to have a shepard/lab mix...he was the best dog ever and very well behaved...except when it came to cat shit. He even knew it was wrong...he would come walking up the basement steps, head hung in shame with cat litter crumbs on his face...he just couldn't resist grabbing some of those tasty treats. :lol:

    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Rabbits are weird aren't they? They have day and night faeces. Coz their digestion is so fast, they re-eat their poo to get the extra nutrients from it. Yum! :? But they are cute though. :D

    She was an abused rescue dog left hungry in an outside cage for months after being born.
    Ignored with no human bonding.
    She has come a long way but will always show these signs of being a victim
    and acquiring this as a habit.

    What has worked for us is to try and understand why first and accept it to some degree.
    This helped us through.

    I talked with our vet about it ...
    It can be a dietary deficiency or even the opposite... tasty poo. :shock:
    He really didn't help to much as I remember, this 10 years ago now.

    We keep it picked up, older poo being more of a crunchy treat but I think frozen poo
    might be a delicacy here in Georgia... I noticed this just lately ;)

    They are dogs... got to love em and try to understand what its like to be a dog

    Lucy got a rabbit this past weekend and was savoring the gut parts by the time
    we found out ... that was much more disturbing to me...

    I believe it's due to a lesser quality of food. It is not digested properly and hence the shit smells like their food so they eat it. I could be wrong on this one but I seem to recall a friend who was going to veterinary college tell me this.

    I knew of one dog that did this.

    His name was Wimpy.

    His name gave him a complex.

    Some great ideas here but tobasco or the bad tasting spray that you can get for stuff around the house that you don't want them to chew on.
    Bitter apple spray i think.
    Ha ha... :lol: I love the idea that by spraying something that tastes nice like apples onto shit it would actually put anything off eating it. Dog, "Awh yuk, my shit tastes like apples, I can't eat this! " A dog probably just wants it's shit to taste like shit I suppose? I saw a guy out walking two springer spaniels when I was really young and after one stopped to shit on the grass the pair had a savage fight for it! And I didn't like dogs much before that!

    I am not sure if bitter apple spray works. I do know that my dogs love apples and so do the coyotes .

    There was a story yesterday that in states that have legalized medical marijuana, that there was a dramatic increase in people rushing their dogs to the vet for eating pot.

    The vet said, it’s not dangerous for the dog, but they can get extremely dehydrated.

    Apparently, they get so stoned, they forget how to drink water. :lol::lol:

    I know it's not poop, but I thought it was funny.
    Don't come closer or I'll have to go

    In one of the Cheech and Chong movies, a dog ate Chong's bag of weed. He then followed the dog around all day with hopes of retrieving it.

    This is true,my dog ate a big block of hash during a party I was having.He kept falling asleep and couldn't eat or drink.After a few days of worry and me not confessing to anything as to why the dog seemed out of it,mum took him to the vet,he ran some blood tests,the tests showed high levels of THC :? Dog was still stoned,we just had to wait until he came down from his high.

    btw this thread is like celebrity porn,disgusting but you know you just have to look :lol:
