Poo
Posted Monday, 07 December 2009 By Zissy
My sisters pup is rolling around in her poo and then eating it. :( Of course my sister is beside herself and ran to the pet store and they gave her some pills. I also looked online for her for things to try but it still hasn't helped. Any ideas??

Hi Zissy,
Take the dog out on a leash, pick up and discard stool and don’t let him roll in fecal material-divert his attention to for example a chew toy. We call this positive reinforcement. See your vet, rule out and vitamin-mineral/dietary deficiencies and be sure to have your vet check a stool sample for worms. Consider adding in a balanced natural vitamin supplement to your dogs diet, such as Paaws. If necessary consider a product available from your vet made to stop this behavior called Forbid.
Thank you
Dr Carol
