Hi... My dog also facing this problem.. pet shop fellow told me that his poo smell like his food.. indigestion problem i guess.. but then i put him on medication (to get rid of his poo smell)... but no improvement... another petshop fellow told me to put some dried chili juice on his poo and let him eat his poo.. worse come to worse, u gotta force him to eat his poo.. for my case, letting him eat his poo with chili juice doesn't work coz' he won't eat it.. he seems like knowing that i had done something to his poo... forcing him to eat his own poo??... no way.. i can't do it... so, finally i bring him out every morning and evening to do his business.. at least this control him from eating his poo.. hope this helps u

yea.. must control him.. otherwise next time you'll found worms on his poo... i suggest that after his meal, u play with him for awhile then only bring him to toilet or open area to do his business.. make sure he poo then only let him out...

i guess chili juice doesn't helps! they don't taste the chili.. my dog like to eat my chili plant, he choose all the red one..^.^ i guess they don't feel HOT! hahaha...
i agree with you.. indigestion problem. My dog use to eat his poo poo when he was a few months old.. still taste the same and pretty yummy for them.. they eat n poo, eat and poo... still need to teach them "NO", as long as they understand the word "NO" and they will stop it. when i pick up his poo poo, i always let him smell it.... c if he wants it or not..Cool if he wants, ketuk la~~~

Re: [chaiwoon] My dog eat poo poo...help & advise [In reply to] Can't Post

True, the dog will eat their own poo poo is due to indigestive problem and they can smell that their poo poo got something they need, so they eat their poo poo.

My friend told me to feed them with oil (any kinds of oil, olive oil, cooking oil, vegetable oil etc) for about two to three days. Two ways you can feed them :

1/ if you dare to, you can open their mouth and pour a table spoon of oil into their mouth direct.

2/ if you don't dare to, you can mix the oil with their food.



Happy trying , do let me know if it works Wink

Re: [chaiwoon] My dog eat poo poo...help & advise [In reply to] Can't Post

hehehehe!

that is the sole purpose of having a doggie friend- to bring us joy. although my bundle of joy have to be fed, cleaned, vet visits and I have to pick up poo-poo, I still love him.

cunning, mischievious, playful and etc? sounds like my furkid too. are you keeping his coat long or a short puppy hairstyle? how old is he?

your boy's face is clean with no tear stain in the avatar. do you use any tear stain remover product or just normal daily cleaning? my boy has bad tear stain it looks as if I never clean his face. I have been religiously cleaning his face in the morning, after meals and before bedtime. Still, the stain won't go away. Any suggestions?

Nice to meet you!

Nice to meet you too...
My boy is now 1 yr and 2 mth old... we called him 'boyboy'... i keep his coat medium length.. he dun look good in puppy hairstyle.. tried once and my mum have to put cloth on him.. kekke.. so now i groom him myself...

i use essentials tear stain remover (less than RM10)... last time, he used to have a lot tear on his face.. but ever since i use the remover, it gets a lot better... and i keep the hair near his eye short - as short as possible.. then no smelly liao... i think use water not that effective lorr coz it can't remove the smell... if ur furkid let u clean up his under eye area, then u can use the remover and try to keep that area short... hope this help Smile

btw, how old is ur furkid and what is his name?

Re: [chaiwoon] My dog eat poo poo...help & advise [In reply to] Can't Post

hello chaiwoon,

actually, I have two shih tzus. Tommy and Terry. Both are 7 months old. Tommy is with my mom. She lost her pomeranian, felt lonely and kidnapped my Tommy.

I am trying to keep their coat at full length. Now both have medium length coat. Tommy have no tear stain problem, only Terry .

Terry is very obedient. He will let me groom him and will sometimes fall asleep. I have no problem cleaning his eyes' areas with tear stain remover as he will stay still. I just felt that the brand I am using is not that effective.

The groomer did suggest to have it cut short. Wouldn't it take ages to grow it again and look weird having a puppy cut on his face but medium length hair on his body? At the moment, he really look pathetic, as if his face has not been cleaned for ages. Now I understand why my mom chose Tommy instead of Terry. LOL!

Hai there!

I owned a toy poodle which is close to 9 mths now. She was having the same problem as ur doggie! Always eat back her poo poo n mess out the whole place! Crazy

one of the petshop owner told me this..... It can be due to too hungry or they eat too much! They will be not able to fully digest wat they ate... their poo poo smell like food and thats y they eat back!

well, i feed my doggie twice a day, 7am and 7pm. 1/3 cup each meal. Tried to reduce to 1/4 cup per meal....n guess wat... it works!!! Im not facing the problem any more.... may b u guys can try it out!

cheer

Re:My dog eat poo poo...help & advise [In reply to] Can't Post

Hey,

My puppy is also facing the same problem (eating poo poo). The funny thing is she wont touch her poo poo if I am near her or looking at her. Everytime when I am busy doing my work, she will play with her poo poo and eat a small bit of her poo poo. She knows she is wrong when she does that but she still does it. Everytime when I catch her doing that, she will run away.

I wanna ask if she is asking for attention or really just wanting to eat and play with her poo poo?

Hope to find an answer.

Thanks,

mizeakira

Smile Hello there, I own 2 shih tzus as well. The younger one (Cody) eats poo whenever I didn't notice it. What I do is bring him to smell his poo Frown then Say NO. Like what Chaiwoon did. If still don't want to listen, smack his bad and let him know it is wrong to eat that. Hope our dog will notice eating poo is not good. hehehe...

Aiyah people..please don't hit or smack your dog lah. I know you're frustrated and angry but hitting them will not make any difference. Imagine you're a puppy and didn't know exactly what you should do then one day your master whom you love the most whack your face. How nice can that be? Unsure poor puppy. Also, try not to relate the puppy's name with something bad like 'Bad Girl (her name)'. Puppy must have some self-confident too.
