Has your dog ever eaten it's poop?!
I caught Katie doing it the other day! Barf! We called her 'poopy eater' (In a sweet voice, we're not jerks, I swear!) for the whole rest of the day. BUT, I had actually heard on the radio that same morning that if your dog eats its stool it is probably because the dog food you are using is not good enough. Dogs will eat their poopy because they are not getting the nutrition they need. By switching to a high quality dog food this behavior will stop! It will eliminate bad breathe and stop the 'gag that is disgusting' factor for you as the owner! A real win win! Next time I go to the store we are upgrading, and I'm going to buy some of those 'clean your teeth' bones! I will let you know how it goes!
Just a little tip!
we want a dog really bad but don't have the space or time right now... but then i hear stories like this, and remember my family dog growing up waking me up in the middle of the night dry heaving in my room and having to hold his mouth shut and drag him upstairs and outside to prevent a mess, and i'm ok with waiting a little longer... ;)
ReplyDeleteUgh....lets get Katie some Pampered Pet Dog Treats to eat!! I am sure they taste better than poop!! Although, I have never really tried poop, so I am just guessing....When we meet for lunch, I will bring her a couple of sample packs...then she can blog about them!! Call me!!
