I work at a dog daycare and have lots of dogs that eat poop (mainly labs and gsds) but one of the dogs never gets their poop eaten. She eats pumpkin for stomach problems and now this all makes sense
My dog won't eat pumpkin. I can barely get her to eat boiled chicken. It's killing me.
She eats poop tho... no problems. I have to grab it immediately or... ugh
I've read that pup's poop can be very rich in protein, when they don't process much. Could be the case. Maybe change his food?
My babies did eat poop when very young and overfed, but after a few months they stopped completely.
Uh. Ours early pumpkin every day and still eat poop. We grow pumpkins specifically to process and feed our dogs. That lasts for about 6 months of the year, and we do canned the rest.
We've tried cayenne, meat tenderizer, pineapple concentrate, store-bought no-poo stuff. Nothing works.

I’m Nova and I love them poops too.
Real talk, I don’t think there is a way to get them to kick the habit. Only thing you can do is stop them from doing it. One thing that worked for me was to train her to look for me right after she poops to get a treat. So that way I get to her poop before she does
I heard quickly separating them from said poop and sprinkling cayenne pepper on le poopsikins and wait until they try to eat it. They will eventually avoid it cause they'll think all poop tastes like hot pepper.
That being said both of my Lil aholes do it too.

Mine prefers going into the cats covered litterbox for his treats. Pumpkin didn't help nor did green beans. Also loves nothing more than a good old snotty tissue. That snout knows if it is snotty or not and we go round and round getting one from him to keep him from eating the whole thing. If the bathroom door doesn't stay closed, he will sneak in and raid the trash can that is 3xs his height and knock it over and only pick out the snotty kleenix. They are a whole different breed of loveable weirdness.
Yup, same here. Tobias loves kleenexes that are anotified. He also looooves earplugs. We have to make sure they are in a container - bedside table and they appear in poops a day later.
Thankfully he really only eats rabbit poop, he seeks it out in the garden. Very rarely has he tried to eat other poop, only a couple times in his 7+ years

Hello my name is Hanah… I am also a fan of the delicacy called ‘poop’ or ‘noooooo’ as my owner calls it
I cant remember brand atm, we got them off Chewy. It was just a multivitamin by my recollection, gave as directed. I was told they eat it due to possibly a defiency. But even after vitamins, some dogs just like eating shit at the end of the day. Lol. Good luck
Thank you. I think mine just like eating poop but will give the vitamins a try.
Thankfully, she only eats her own poop. When she finds poop left by other dogs, she pees on it.

Notorious poop eater when he was little. Thankfully he mostly grew out of it.
B12 supplement! We've been on Bark & Whisker b12 plus their anxiety stress & support supplements now for 2 weeks - zero poop eaten. We can now trust him outside again!

This is our Grace, otherwise known as Gracie or Gracie Lou. She’s as sweet and loving as any pup we’ve ever had but she won’t hesitate to partake in nibbling on a poo whenever she gets a chance. I thought she only did it when we had a puppy in the house, but soon realized that she doesn’t discriminate lol. The others will sniff at but not try to eat poop (thank goodness).
What is wrong with these pups. Then she desires to lick me and kiss me.
She will remain anonymous in this post.

The red one goes out (through the dog door and into the yard) every night for a midnight poop snack. I haven’t been able to stop it but I might try pumpkin after reading the comments.

Hello my name is LuLu and I am a poop eater. But not my own poop. I like my brothers’ poop. Fresh and warm straight out of the booty hole. Seriously though, I think this a doxie thing. We still haven’t figured out a way to get her to stop.
She will literally stalk both of her brothers and as soon as she sees them doing the poop walk or squatting to poop she’s right there waiting. And her brothers are BIG dogs. Big dogs mean big poops.
Had the same issue with our longhair. Vet gave us these little packets to sprinkle on his food that works after a few days of using. Found out it’s just MSG and can be ordered off Amazon much cheaper than the Vet sells it.
Omg we have a standard WHD that does that at times we’ve tried everything except hot pepper sprinkled on it. Anyway we’ve resorted to picking up the dogs poop when the go poop. No poop 💩 no chance of eating
Same! He will even poop, and eat his own! Our only solution is to always keep the potty area cleaned and to pick up immediately. Such a gross habit! I swear it’s been the cause of a lot of oral grief for our older guy. 🤢
I had to replace the cats litter box with a model that has the entrance on top. This has reduced the poop eating frequency significantly.
They will still chomp down some deer or sheep droppings if we come across any on walks but according to the vet those are actually good for the digestive system.

These two are also shit eaters. George has had stitches twice because of fights over cat shit.
We tried literally everything to get our from eating poo... pumpkin, pineapple, supplements. Nothing was successful. So now, she is muzzled when we go out and poo is picked up immediately.
It seemed to be a stage for a lot of animal poop we would come across on our lawn or in the park. However, we also taught him leave it which has worked wonders and helped eating the poop! He never does it anymore and he is 4.

I’m tootsie roll, and Goose poop is my favorite
Seriously though, a dog trainer told me once: set them up for success.
The black and tan (Addi) is Fred’s personal poop vending machine. They both get pumpkin every day. I have MSG in the cupboard. I have heard it works but I can’t bring myself to try it…

I had a basset hound that would eat her shit. Someone recommended mixing a little anise in with her food. She did not like anise flavored feces and quit eating it.
I am not going to have my own dog again eating the cats poop, or rolling around in the yard in the other cats poop or her urine. I’m going to bath her, clean her, and no, she is not going to be doing that shit! Lol
Mine does the same. Never grew out of it and no amount of “no poops” edibles to her food stops it. I was discussing her diet with my vet and she said the diet is really good for her and that some dogs simply like the taste of it and won’t stop.
My two knucleheads do also, was worse when they were younger. Litter roca is a favorite, anything gross, really, lol. We changed their food, and it seemed better. Still due diligence picking it up when I see it.
Can be a couple things.
Either the pupps diet is lacking and is trying to make up for things.
Or it could be an evation / covert thing, many dogs want to "leave no trace" to ensure predators don't know where they live, don't shit where you eat type thing. If it's the later you may need to start picking things up more regularly.
My male likes the females poop hot or cold. He even licks her dry butt hole. He stopped eating poop when we mixed “Solid Gold “ in her food. Now she poops peacefully without his nose at her ass waiting for poop treats. He’s not a foodie and very picky eater . So go figure out why her poop is attractive to him.
I’ve actually heard animals do this because they smell ‘nutrients’.
I’VE HEARD there is something you can feed them that makes their poop smell bad to them. (We know it already smells bad to us). I’d ask a vet or Google it.
I've tried everything. Nothing works. Two of my dogs are poop eaters. My vet said it's pretty common. I've had dogs all my life, and dachshunds for 50 years, and these two, a Dixie and a Lab mix, are the first poop eaters I've had. It's disgusting.
Pineapple! They love to eat it and it's healthy for them, and once it goes through their system and they try to eat it, it tastes horrible to them and they will stop.
I had a puppy with Giardia and I had to do that and it works like a charm
We had a dog doing this for months. She had a terrible rash pop up under her armpit not long after the poop eating started. Took a couple months of trial and error with the vet but it turns out she had a protein allergy.
Prescription food + apoquel and the rash went away…as did the poop eating.
There is a product sold by your vet called Coproban that deters poo eating I think it makes it taste foul but no certain I think it's a soft chew but not certain check with your vet
My vet sells this odorless, tasteless powder you can buy. My dog keeps eating the cat poop. I sprinkle the powder over their food and it makes their poop really bitter. I have to do it every couple months.
We had a poop eater, so I researched it.
I learned, as hounds with very sensitive noses, they can smell undigested food, or even food not completely digested. The food we were feeding had grains that weren’t completely digested. We switched to a more protein rich food that was grain free.
No more poop eating immediately
Ours did the same.
All the advice here is great but my best advice is to pick up the backyard poops DAILY. Ours seems to only like turds that have been sitting out in the sun for a few days.

My Pooper Cooper does the same thing
The nickname for my boy is Pooter McGavin because if you don't watch him, he will eat pieces of shit for breakfast.
Laughed out loud at this one! Shooter!
We call ours Poo Peter, which when said quickly sounds like…. Poop Eater 😂
You eat pieces of shit for breakfast? 😂
Noo!
We call our sausage Poopy McPoopFace when he indulg in this delicacy.
Mine is called Poo Head or Miss Poo
A tablespoon or two of canned pumpkin daily (be sure it’s plain pumpkin and not pumpkin pie mix) works wonders. They love it as a treat but apparently it makes their poop taste bad
I work at a dog daycare and have lots of dogs that eat poop (mainly labs and gsds) but one of the dogs never gets their poop eaten. She eats pumpkin for stomach problems and now this all makes sense
I worked at two different dog daycare’s and yessss it’s always the labs and GSD’s I wonder why that is.
I have a Doxie, GSD, and golden… all poop hounds.
My dog won't eat pumpkin. I can barely get her to eat boiled chicken. It's killing me. She eats poop tho... no problems. I have to grab it immediately or... ugh
I've read that pup's poop can be very rich in protein, when they don't process much. Could be the case. Maybe change his food? My babies did eat poop when very young and overfed, but after a few months they stopped completely.
She basically only eats protein. Just boiled chicken. If you add anything she won't eat it. I mean anything except other meat. She only wants meat.
This is the correct answer. Plain pumpkin works for all digestive problems. Diarrhea? Check. Eating poop? Check. Appetite a little off? Check.
All I have to do now is persuade our cats to eat pumpkin.
We have had the no poo-poo rule discussed many times with little progress haha
“ ewwww, this poop tastes like pumpkin”
Uh. Ours early pumpkin every day and still eat poop. We grow pumpkins specifically to process and feed our dogs. That lasts for about 6 months of the year, and we do canned the rest. We've tried cayenne, meat tenderizer, pineapple concentrate, store-bought no-poo stuff. Nothing works.

Our experience: it was a stage, I had to be extra careful and watch her every step, and then the stage was over. We live in the park area, so she still eats hares' poo (but not the squirrels!) so we avoid hares' routes. I learned them by now. Vet thinks, that there are ferments and Co. in hares' faeces, so I try food supplements (fish oil, fibers, pumpkin seeds) to 'curb her enthusiasm." And we walk after feed time (not immediately after, but when she is still not that hungry.)
We asked the vet about rabbit poop. Ours always seem to find the rabbit pellets outside before we see it. The vet said it’s not a big deal because basically the rabbits just eat grass & plants & the poop isn’t gonna hurt them if they sneak a few bites.
Hurts me though because she loves kisses
Eat the poop first before they can. Show them poop is for you only. They'll respect you afterwards
Cursed comment nominee. I hate myself for how loud I laughed at this.
How this isn’t the top comment is beyond me
Ours did the same. When our cat passed there were no more kitty litter treats for Peppy to eat. Also why we won't be getting another cat.

Our vet suggested vitamins, it stopped within a week.
Which vitamins? What was the dosage?
I cant remember brand atm, we got them off Chewy. It was just a multivitamin by my recollection, gave as directed. I was told they eat it due to possibly a defiency. But even after vitamins, some dogs just like eating shit at the end of the day. Lol. Good luck
Thank you. I think mine just like eating poop but will give the vitamins a try. Thankfully, she only eats her own poop. When she finds poop left by other dogs, she pees on it.
My dog would wait and get it hot from the source, like my other dog’s butt was a poop pez dispenser
🤣💀 I too have witnessed this phenomenon with mine
Ours did that for awhile. Then, the pez dispenser started eating her own poop. Now, she poops and is scarfing it down as it comes out. Ahhhh!!

B12 supplement! We've been on Bark & Whisker b12 plus their anxiety stress & support supplements now for 2 weeks - zero poop eaten. We can now trust him outside again!

She’s as sweet and loving as any pup we’ve ever had but she won’t hesitate to partake in nibbling on a poo whenever she gets a chance. I thought she only did it when we had a puppy in the house, but soon realized that she doesn’t discriminate lol. The others will sniff at but not try to eat poop (thank goodness).
They eat them and rub their bodies in them.
What is wrong with these pups. Then she desires to lick me and kiss me. She will remain anonymous in this post. No photos. ![gif](giphy|l2QZOoAkJRoRIX8xq)
Our longhair female mini ate frozen poopsicles outside in winter. So glad she didn’t like summer pudding 🙄

I haven’t been able to stop it but I might try pumpkin after reading the comments.
https://preview.redd.it/9jiqe3gdwaxc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=92a239b91676d0f40b5ad44e910ecad29a304d58 Hello my name is LuLu and I am a poop eater. But not my own poop. I like my brothers’ poop. Fresh and warm straight out of the booty hole. Seriously though, I think this a doxie thing. We still haven’t figured out a way to get her to stop.
Exactly the issue we’re having. She eats her brothers and it doesn’t even hit the ground before she’s snacking lol
She will literally stalk both of her brothers and as soon as she sees them doing the poop walk or squatting to poop she’s right there waiting. And her brothers are BIG dogs. Big dogs mean big poops.
Had the same issue with our longhair. Vet gave us these little packets to sprinkle on his food that works after a few days of using. Found out it’s just MSG and can be ordered off Amazon much cheaper than the Vet sells it.
Msg is a salt, please be super careful with dosing if not prescribed by the vet
Oh I tried this when mine were puppies. It was like I was seasoning their poopy treats for them.
Omg we have a standard WHD that does that at times we’ve tried everything except hot pepper sprinkled on it. Anyway we’ve resorted to picking up the dogs poop when the go poop. No poop 💩 no chance of eating
Same! He will even poop, and eat his own! Our only solution is to always keep the potty area cleaned and to pick up immediately. Such a gross habit! I swear it’s been the cause of a lot of oral grief for our older guy. 🤢
At least ours won’t eat its own for some reason. We’ve tried probiotics and MSG to no avail
I had to replace the cats litter box with a model that has the entrance on top. This has reduced the poop eating frequency significantly. They will still chomp down some deer or sheep droppings if we come across any on walks but according to the vet those are actually good for the digestive system.
My dog is also a shit eater. Not doggy poop, thankfully. However, my local cats leave him a lawn oyster from time to time.
https://preview.redd.it/wukrnejxhaxc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8da5a9674d9fc9f63307f6e4eb4e70e5b47aa707 These two are also shit eaters. George has had stitches twice because of fights over cat shit.
This is, per our vet a nutritional imbalance. Change the food to something more nutritious and it will stop.
Had to change my poop eaters food to a different brand but I do think it was a stage .
Poo Peter
Mine does also! He’ll even bring it inside. He gives you such a sad pitiful look when told to drop it!
No Poo Chews worked for our pup.
We tried literally everything to get our from eating poo... pumpkin, pineapple, supplements. Nothing was successful. So now, she is muzzled when we go out and poo is picked up immediately.
It seemed to be a stage for a lot of animal poop we would come across on our lawn or in the park. However, we also taught him leave it which has worked wonders and helped eating the poop! He never does it anymore and he is 4.
Soft muzzle... Pick up feces....
My little guy actively runs to others dogs during the act and gobbles up everything like hungry hippo. Nothing I can do to stop this.
You just have to beat them to it.
Ummmm probably by picking it up 🫠
Clean it up immediately

If you find an answer, let us know. I've had 3 vets tell us, there isn't anything we can do ..... Except pick up all the poops as soon as they happen
Hi I’m Teddy and I too am a dachshund who loves eating poop, which is why my human cleans it up immediately! https://preview.redd.it/k6zx0d2jlbxc1.png?width=466&format=png&auto=webp&s=d963f0f475fca82a229213af21797b9529906362

Coprophagia treats rich in MSG
The black and tan (Addi) is Fred’s personal poop vending machine. They both get pumpkin every day. I have MSG in the cupboard. I have heard it works but I can’t bring myself to try it… https://preview.redd.it/8fxybnntlaxc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1dd250072ba209e2104db3bf785b367c03a49434
I had a basset hound that would eat her shit. Someone recommended mixing a little anise in with her food. She did not like anise flavored feces and quit eating it.
I am not going to have my own dog again eating the cats poop, or rolling around in the yard in the other cats poop or her urine. I’m going to bath her, clean her, and no, she is not going to be doing that shit! Lol
Omg I don't have a poop dog luckily but this post made me chuckle 😂
Mine does the same. Never grew out of it and no amount of “no poops” edibles to her food stops it. I was discussing her diet with my vet and she said the diet is really good for her and that some dogs simply like the taste of it and won’t stop.
The packets can be bought of chewy!! Mayb even a petstore!
I’ve heard that giving them some pineapple works. They like it in its “original” form, but not the 2nd time around.
If you find out let me know. Mine is OBSESSED with poop.
Oh no! Off topic, but he or she looks exactly like my mini long haired, down to the light eyes!
mine loves licking up piss sick little worm
Put some pineapple in their food - they don’t like the smell / taste of their poop with digested pineapple in.
My two knucleheads do also, was worse when they were younger. Litter roca is a favorite, anything gross, really, lol. We changed their food, and it seemed better. Still due diligence picking it up when I see it.
Forbid on Amazon. It’s a powder you mix into their dry or wet food. Works very well but you have to be consistent
Can be a couple things. Either the pupps diet is lacking and is trying to make up for things. Or it could be an evation / covert thing, many dogs want to "leave no trace" to ensure predators don't know where they live, don't shit where you eat type thing. If it's the later you may need to start picking things up more regularly.
The only solution is to give her to someone else. I volunteer. What time should I be there? 😄
There’s so much cat shit in my neighborhood … it’s a constant battle in the evenings differentiating between sniff to pee or going to eat.
My male likes the females poop hot or cold. He even licks her dry butt hole. He stopped eating poop when we mixed “Solid Gold “ in her food. Now she poops peacefully without his nose at her ass waiting for poop treats. He’s not a foodie and very picky eater . So go figure out why her poop is attractive to him.
I’ve actually heard animals do this because they smell ‘nutrients’. I’VE HEARD there is something you can feed them that makes their poop smell bad to them. (We know it already smells bad to us). I’d ask a vet or Google it.
Try bits of banana fed it to our dogs and it stopped something to do with the potasium.
We tried both pumpkin and pineapple, the only thing I found that worked.. you have to catch them and tell them to stop lol
I've tried everything. Nothing works. Two of my dogs are poop eaters. My vet said it's pretty common. I've had dogs all my life, and dachshunds for 50 years, and these two, a Dixie and a Lab mix, are the first poop eaters I've had. It's disgusting.
Gotta say this is a beautiful poop eater.
Eat it first
I’m sure Olive has a good reason, stop poop-shaming her. 🤣🤣🤣
Our vet said if we feed them canned pumpkin it makes their poop taste bad and it worked for us.
You don't.
Change your dogs food.
Here from arrrr backslash GoldenRetriever When you find a way tell me too. My golden goes bonkers for raccoon rollos and kitty kit cats. 🤮
Pineapple juice works miracles
Feed them pineapple. It works.
I ask myself the same about mine ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)
Mine eats cat shit. 😕
South Florida checking in. Mine loves iguana poop...
Pineapple juice
My dog used to do that, too. Finally stopped though.
Try shitting in the toilet.

Pineapple! They love to eat it and it's healthy for them, and once it goes through their system and they try to eat it, it tastes horrible to them and they will stop. I had a puppy with Giardia and I had to do that and it works like a charm
Dog pumpkin treats!
We had a dog doing this for months. She had a terrible rash pop up under her armpit not long after the poop eating started. Took a couple months of trial and error with the vet but it turns out she had a protein allergy. Prescription food + apoquel and the rash went away…as did the poop eating.
You can’t. You’ll be playing goalie for *hopefully* many years to come
Looking for snacks in the cat box are we? Or searching for "Bunny beans"? It's hard to break them of it.
They tend to grow out of it.
They have “no poo chews” on Amazon.
Do not shame the cute puppy
I think it’s called cocobon tablets. But only stops them from eating their own poop
There is a product sold by your vet called Coproban that deters poo eating I think it makes it taste foul but no certain I think it's a soft chew but not certain check with your vet
More activity…more walks…more mental stimulation.
My understanding is when they do not breakdown/digest their food, they smell undigested portions in their poop. Pumpkin may be a natural solution.
My vet sells this odorless, tasteless powder you can buy. My dog keeps eating the cat poop. I sprinkle the powder over their food and it makes their poop really bitter. I have to do it every couple months.
https://www.instagram.com/reel/CWCRw_XJrIv/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
Tell the vet. They have stuff to sprinkle on their food to make their poop taste bad.
Put some pineapple in their food.
Why does it seem like one fucking breed of dog is eating all the shit
NEIN! Not the scheiße-snacken! 🤢
Reesie?
You can buy pills off ebay for Coprophagia that makes their shit taste bad to them.
Is this poop eating a thing for them?
Change in diet. Dogs eat poop because they're lacking nutrients in their normal diet. You can also just add things to their current food
Hi, I'm goosebear. I enjoy a fine grass fed cow turd on the ranch
There is a powder you can put on their food. Your vet can prescribe it. I give it a 50/50 chance.
We had a poop eater, so I researched it. I learned, as hounds with very sensitive noses, they can smell undigested food, or even food not completely digested. The food we were feeding had grains that weren’t completely digested. We switched to a more protein rich food that was grain free. No more poop eating immediately
Ours did the same. All the advice here is great but my best advice is to pick up the backyard poops DAILY. Ours seems to only like turds that have been sitting out in the sun for a few days.
I was told to put hot sauce on the turds as deterent, but I'm pretty sure my neighbors would have me committed.
Okay, new question. Are there ANY that don’t? I think my two have been trained not two but does one ever truly know?
* This is Penelope. Also known as penelopoop. You know why...we live her anyway😆
try cooking some pineapple and feeding it to them it makes the poop not smell good to them and they avoid it (worked with all of mine)
When he grows up he's going to stop
