Does anyone else have this problem?
Thomas my 6yr old loves to find and eat dog poo!!
Sadly his stomach cant cope with this and we are woken at all times of the night to find...well you can guess what.
His poo is runny one day, solid the next. Poo times are completely random.
He's fed on dry food soaked in gravy.
How do I stop this and restore some sort of reliable routine?
Al.

Does he eat his own or other dogs poo? My Doobs ate his own, so I decided to use the pineappple method. About one ring in each feed. Did this for about two weeks and hey presto! He no longer has the urgency to clear up after himself as soon as it hits the ground (although this hasn't stopped him going after my Mums dogs poo - but one step at a time eh?)

Welcome to the forums Alan and Thomas, CJ to is a poo eater though it tends to be fox and horse, he and Cindy (she eats it to ) also roll in it
Hopefully someone will be along with some tips on how to stop it

....my vet has suggested the pineapple thing, perhaps it will work.
The way I see it, I have two options, keep him on the lead or make him wear a muzzle!!
Glad I'm (we're) not alone. Still, my prob seems miniscule compared to rolling in it!!!
