I need help. How do you get a dog to quit eating their stool. We have tried the pills and the powder.?

Pick it up the minute the dog goes.





It's perfectly normal for dogs to eat their stool (And other dogs, and cats)I need help. How do you get a dog to quit eating their stool. We have tried the pills and the powder.?
I've already had a best answer on this one, but....





A LOT OF DOGS DO THIS...it is not new and they will eventually grow out of it. The best you can do is to clean up your dog's ';area'; everyday and sprinkle some cayenne/red pepper powder on his stool. He'll start to avoid it and it won't hurt him any. My german shepherd/black lab was doing this and we didn't know it until he became ill from it and we took him to the vet.I need help. How do you get a dog to quit eating their stool.

smack that fella right away when he/she picks them up n say 'NO!' ..be watchful n repeat a few times, should work..good luck!
Something that works well with dogs is adding a little meat tenderizor to their food- it gives the stool an unpleasant taste.


Also keep your yard as clean as possible. Pick up as soon as the dogs ';business'; is done. It's gross but this is what they do to mask their odour sometimes. Hope this helps :)
the best way would be to not give them the chance to eat get it away from them befor they have the chance
I had the same question a few years ago and asked a vet. This is what he said to do.





sprinkle some cyan pepper in his food...





That sure stopped Mikki from eating hers...





Good Luck!
Take the dog out on a leash and correct it every time it starts to head for a mess. We use a ';no dirt'; command here at the shelter.





Be more diligent about cleaning up the dog's messes immediately so it doesn't have a chance to spot them or feast on them.
Stick with the FOR-BID powder. Use it for 5-7 days (1/2 a pack twice a day)....takes time to get through their system. Then you can start backing it off to once a day for a few days.





Someone had suggested if you get ACCENT (in the spice isle), it will give you the same results as DETER (another powder for this problem).
acidophiles yogurt is meant to be awsome a teaspoon on the food a day. when they eat stools its meant to mean they are lacking something in there diet .
