bad habit dog eating poop
I Have a 9 month old Boston Terrier that has started eating poop. I have tryed a product called deter which don't work and I have tryed for-bid which I got from the vet that worked but was expensive. I heard that the reason they do that is because there is something they are missing in the body chemistry. Are there a herb or something cheaper I can do to stop this nasty habit? Any suggestion on what they are lacking.

feed it more often, maybe less amounts more oftern. i have found that the
dogs that are eating poop are being fed once a day, and when they need a snack, they turn to poop. if you had fed it twice a day, then it may have taken three, but if you only fed it once a day, then it may take feeding more than twice a day at this point cause its already a refined habit... try feeding your dog 3-4 times a day or whenever possible, but divide the meals up so it doesnt get fat, nothing worse that seeing a poor obese dog that is doomed for a life of bone problems, joint problems, and organ problems and metabolism problems. wolf Wolfdogg's site http://www.home.earthlink.net/~wolfdoggsite "culprit" wrote in message ...

Sometimes dogs eat poop just because they're dogs. I feed a very high quality food, and all the dogs are fed twice a day, including the small dogs. My Whippets are still poop eaters, and one or two of the others eat poopsicle. We have also had foster dogs of several breeds over the years, mostly Greyhounds, and many of them eat poop. I don't believe for a second that dogs eat poop because they're not being fed often enough - - I've seen them eat poop an hour after breakfast. There are only a few hard and fast rules about poop eating: 1) some breeds seem to me more apt to do it than others. 2) Dogs that don't eat poop ordinarily may eat poopsicles. 3) The only sure way to cure it completely is to pick up every pile as it leaves the dog (some dogs don't wait until it hits the ground). For some people, this just isn't practical. Mustang Sally Wolfdogg's site http://www.home.earthlink.net/~wolfdoggsite "culprit" wrote in message ... "rascal" wrote in message lkaboutpets.com...
