Just a few observations from the owner of a 10 year old copraphagic pug: he was caged for his first six months and I truly believe that he eats 'it' to try to do his own housekeeping. He goes on papers at night and has three walk a day outside...he NEVER even tries to eat 'it' outside, nor does he show any interest in his Bichon sibling's stuff or kitty litterings. Years ago, I tried capsicum capsules, both commercial and homemade, then pineapple. No effect (he did love the pineapple!). Then I read about protein deprived rabbits who 'recycle' their droppings to re-absorb nutrients and we switched from kibble to good quality canned, then to home=cooked meat/pumpkin/broccoli...even now, he still occsionally eats poop at night, as if he feels compelled to keep his 'den' (my bedroom) clean! He's 10, going on 11, so as for now, I've come to terms with it. Love your show, and my Bichon, who was a chronic skin chewer when I adopted her in 2017 is grateful for the tea/aspirin topical treatment which has reduced her 'hot spot' suffering to near zero. So thank you and best wishes from our family to yours.

Hi Doctor. Are you ok? Hope everything has resolved for you. Your efforts to help everyone, are truly amazing. Thank you.

My pitbull has the opposite problem - a healthy fear of poop. From the time he was weaned, he wouldn't go near a turd if he could help it. He is now almost 7 years old, and if he notices a fresh pile in the distance, his eyes will bug out on a stem like he saw a ghost, and he will take off in another direction like his life depends on it. If he is running along and unexpectedly happens up on one, he'll jump sideways three feet in the air like it was a snake about to bite him. It is funny as heck to watch. He has always had pleasant breath too, and gives good kisses. 🐕♥

Thank you, Dr. Jones! We adopted a sweet adorable 8 year old puppy mill Maltese female who had that nasty habit. She also spins alot whenever she gets excited so we assumed it was because she was caged most of her life and she may have done it to keep her kennel clean. She only did it with her own though, she wasn't interested in eating my other dog's poop. I think I managed to break her of it by cleaning up her poop right away after she went and by feeding her beef liver a few times a week. Beef liver is loaded with all those wonderful B vitamins, and my dogs love liver. I think it also helps dogs with anxiety. It takes time, it's not an instant fix, maybe 3-6 months, but it is all natural and well worth the wait. It's an inexpensive meat too, so that is also helpful for those on a budget. Beef liver and nutritional yeast helped me beat my own severe anxiety too in about 3 months. Nutrition is so powerful.

My dogs stopped eating poop after I started adding trace minerals to their water dish. It’s like super concentrated liquid trace minerals, and you only use a little bit per gallon of water. They completely stopped poop eating right away. I also noticed they stopped eating grass as well.

I’ve been adding raw wheatgrass juice powder to their wet food and I think that may help too.

Thanks for your tips!

[donnapascual]

Thanks for the ideas, Dr Jones!!!
I stuck my fingers in my pups mouth not knowing what he was eating from the ground (was pitch dark) lets say I will NEVER again do that w/o proper lighting!!! UGH!!!

[lindatalieri]

Thank u Dr. jones I have that problem with my new puppy.

[didlidoodles]

Putting some grated zucchini in their food works great too. They don't like the smell of the poop after.

You are a Wonderful vet! I love that you take the holistic approach first!

[cuddlebugfrenchies]

My dog has eaten from the day I brought her home, I’ve tried everything, and almost hurt myself running to get it before she does!

[lizbetpcb]

Every dog I’ve ever had found cat poop IRRESISTIBLE.
So, all our litter boxes but one are kept in the basement, with the door closed. We installed a cat door, but she can’t fit through 😂
When we forget to close the door she sneaks down. It’s so gross!

[kati-ana]

When we rescued our newest dog she was so malnourished she ate her poo. I have never had a dog do such a thing so I was grossed out. After only a few days she stopped. I fed her home cooked hearty meals and am so thankful now when she see's her poo she seems grossed out by it too. BUT. If she was still eating it, no way would I give her MSG. I'd just stand right there and scoop up the poop as soon as it hit the ground lol. I did when I brought her home so I would still be doing it if that's what I had to do.

[donnayoung]

Thank you for your help. I’m going to try this with my husband’s dog.

[Helmzer.an.the.homeless.hounds]

Thank you for what you do as times are tough financially at the moment, my dogs are my world and I feel bad I can't always take them to see a vet and we have to take care of alot of things ourselves now..again thank you

[thinkforyourselfjohn]

Thank you for this video. I've had two dog's that there issue was with cat poo 💩. One I got a pet trainer and broke him of the habit the other I had no success with other than keeping a clean kitty litter box at all times. I appreciate you Dr. Jones.

[Rollypolly]
