Wasup everyone, I’m seeking advice regarding my dog’s troublesome habit of eating poop. Despite trying different methods such as adding supplements to his food, I’ve had no success in stopping this behavior. Has anyone faced a similar issue and successfully resolved it? I would greatly appreciate any advice or methods that have worked for you. Thank you!
I have personally found enzyme supplements marketed as “poop-eating deterrents” to be highly effective for my dog. The tasty treats help break down proteins and change the odor of stool, making it less tempting for my dog to eat. Moreover, these enzymes have improved my dog’s digestion, significantly reducing the urge to eat poop in the first place. Additionally, the supplement has been beneficial for my dog’s overall health, helping to manage issues like constipation and improving bowel regularity with just a few treats daily.
As a dog owner, I’ve found a few effective strategies to get my pup to stop eating poop. First, I make sure to feed my dog a high-quality, nutritious diet, as nutritional deficiencies can sometimes drive this behavior. I also regularly give my dog digestive enzyme supplements, which can aid digestion and reduce the appeal of poop. Additionally, I’ve trained my dog to respond to the “leave it” command, so I can quickly redirect them away from any piles. Supervising my dog closely during walks and immediately cleaning up after them has also been crucial. If the issue persists, I consult my veterinarian, as they can rule out any underlying medical causes and provide personalized advice. With patience and the right combination of diet, training, and environmental management, I’ve been able to successfully curb my dog’s poop-eating habit.
You can stop it from happening. Avoiding it won’t help. You either need to accept it, use a stool guard, or avoid places where people don’t clean up after their dogs.
