Unhappy Adult dog eats own feces (I'm not kidding) HELP

I really need a lot of successful advice. My dog eats small amounts of her own feces after she poops. I have to continually be with her when she goes to stop this gross behavior. I have tried, through my vet, a product called "Forbid" and it did not work with her.

Honestly this is NOT gross behaviour, ALL dogs do this, it's part of their
Wolf gene. Believe it or not but dogs eat their own and other dogs faeces
because it's full of vitamins, minerals etc. I don't know what you feed your
dog but if it's tinned meat (yeah right) and dried food that you add water
too (yuk) then your dogs not getting a proper diet. Feed it raw meat, beef,
turkey/chicken carcasses remove the meat from the turkey/chicken and let it
eat what's left, rabbit, road kill etc, that's what mine gets and I've never
been to a vet with him. On Yahoo Groups you'll find a place for like minded
people that feed raw meat to their dogs/cats/ferrets etc, it's called Raw
Meaty Bones, subscribe and learn something that most of the sheeple out
there haven't a clue about. You'll also find a few books written by a vet
called Tom Lonsdale about feeding your dog/cat etc Raw Meat.

Honestly this is NOT gross behaviour,


"Gross" is subjective, pretty much by definition.

ALL dogs do this,


Many dogs do it.

it's part of their Wolf gene.


Whoopsie!

Believe it or not but dogs eat their own and other dogs faeces
because it's full of vitamins, minerals etc.


Um, nope. Like other animals (notably humans) dogs can have
eating compulsions, or sometimes they just eat thing because
they like the way they taste. One approach to solving the
poop eating problem then, is at the pre-processing stage, by
adding something to make the poop taste bad. My
understanding is that most people haven't had a lot of
success with that.

I have a big-time poop-eater and my approach has been to
keep the yard clean.

I don't know what you feed your
dog but if it's tinned meat (yeah right) and dried food that you add water
too (yuk) then your dogs not getting a proper diet.


Aha! That's what this is about. "My dog eats poop" "Feed
raw" "Cold front coming in" "Feed raw" "Burma has arrested
hundreds of dissidents" "Feed raw." It's a cult, not a
feeding strategy. And you'll note that this joker talked
about ingredients but not actual nutrition, because these
jokers arenn't interested in actual nutrition.

that's what mine gets and I've never
been to a vet with him.


I don't blame you - if I fed my dog the way you feed yours
I'd stay away from people with academic training in
nutrition, too.

On Yahoo Groups you'll find a place for like minded
people


That's *so* important! You should always avoid people who
disagree with you!!

This is exactly what I'm talking about, uneducated buffoons like you that
believe only one side of the story and are afraid to try anything for
themselves. So tell me, how are those shares you have in the processed
animal food companies doing? Believe it or not your dog if you have one is a
modified wolf, no whoopsie there, just that you're an idiot. BTW as I can't
be arsed answering every piece of your garbage my dog doesn't eat faeces, so
that's got nothing to do with why I feed him raw meat.

Bwhahahahahahahahaha

Yayyyyyy! We have someone who's never cracked a book, never
talked to a veterinary nutritionist, doesn't know much about
morphology and evolution ... an ignoramus!

You'll note that while asserting the value of this
ingredient or that ingredient, not only do you pay no (as in
"zip," "zero," "nada," "zilch") attention to nutritional
balance, you're not even paying attention to nutritional
components. Nutrition is for sissies!

Why *do* you feed him raw meat? Seriously. My dog is pretty
healthy, so why should I switch her to a raw diet?

I have a blog about dogs, and in it I have some useful tools and tips
from experts that you might find helpful on this. I really recommend
checking it out because you can not only curb this (what we think is
disgusting) habit, but you can learn about which commercial foods are
good, which ones to avoid and other training and obedience tips. I
hope this helps! My blog is: http://i****inglovedogs.blogspot.com/
