<p> </p>
<p>It isnt a diet supplement the dog is looking for, its a natural behaviour and sadly if you are exercising where a lot of "pet fed" dogs are reconstitution of faeces from some of the dog foods is minimal and therefore tasty.</p>

Hi, when my puppy tried this another dog owner told me that if you feed ie dried first stomach/tripe ( pansen in german) that this stops this bad habbit. It worked with Henry when he was six months...<br/>
I gave two dried strips a day...here is the type I used<br />

<p>My Kasia is poo eater too. In the faeces there are still some nutritiens attractive to dogs.</p>
<p>I think it's individual. None of my previous dogs had that habit, although they all were fed on the same food. Kasia loves also each kind of manure, especially fresh on the ground. She's now almost 2 years old and I think she is doing it now very rarely. So maybe she will grow out.</p>

<p>The second factor could be also change of her diet. I want to move her on raw food and now she gets more fresh meat: chicken, beef, fish. Maybe it's worth asking people who use only raw food do they have that problem.</p> I can't answer that Jen but a…tag:irishsetters.ning.com,2013-06-11:865021:Comment:11025812013-06-11T18:51:17.380Zrob winemakerhttps://irishsetters.ning.com/profile/robwinemaker
<p>I can't answer that Jen but are you thinking the aloe is preventing her from getting her nutritional needs? The food I feed is actually supplemented with glucosomine / chondroitin. From Malkie's response above, it sounds to me that there are comparable feeds in the UK as here in the States. Might be worth looking into. Just a thought.</p>

<p>Hi Angeline,</p>
<p>Every time we take out a fresh pineapple, it starts a riot.</p>
<p>Not sure from your profile where you are but I'm in the US. I am feeding the 4Health brand Beef and Potato to Rooker and Keba gets the 4Health Performance.

Thanks rob which food do you use as I think maybe it is his food his poos are of a ready break texture a bit too mushy (sorry ) and he's the same. Likes pineapple but doesn't stop him eating others poop

<p>Both my boys were poo eaters as pups and I figured they would just grow out of it. Well, Keba did and Rooker didn't. I tried all the different cures I could find. My boys still love pineapple but it didn't work. The literature said if the habit persists, it could be an absorption and dietary issue.

<p>Hi Angeline.</p>
<p>Both my boys were poo eaters as pups and I figured they would just grow out of it. Well, Keba did and Rooker didn't. I tried all the different cures I could find. My boys still love pineapple but it didn't work. The literature said if the habit persists, it could be an absorption and dietary issue. I was finding this aspect difficult to believe in Rookers case as he seemed perfectly healthy. and I was like,' No way". As he got a little older and he persisted with his own dietary supplements, I became willing to look at his diet particularly as he seemed to be having too many loose stools. They were on a high quality chicken and soy based dry food. I removed the dry food and he received a cooked chicken and rice diet for a week but the loose stools continued and the poo eating seemed to increase. So I then gradually started him on beef based, no grain dry food diet and 'voila', all solid poos and no more snacking between meals. I was amazed but that was the problem all along.

You asked about diet Angeline! I too was told it might be diet related all those years ago. I was feeding royal canin with cooked food back then, can't say those foods caused him to eat poo but the vet did say that they sometimes will eat poo if there lacking something in there diet! I still feed a top end kibble but have introduced raw food with much success all round. Hope someone can give you some suggestions on what to feed as I'm not that knowledgeable on diets.
