I have a 5 month old Cocker Spaniel she is beautyfull she is getting realy good at house training ,we only have around 2 misshaps on a good day.But she eat's her own and any Cat poo she can find ,Even to the extent that as its coming out she is eating it im sorry this is so grouse but I need help!!!!!!!!!!!!!.I love her but when I see her doing this I cannot let her get anywere near me I feel sick... as soon as she does her buisness I clean it up but I have to be so quick ,and as for the cats well were do I start with them.
I feed her on Nutro puppy food so she has a good diet I dont think she is lacking in any thing .....
Please help from Karen and penny.

Hi Karen,
If you do a search on this site for coprophagia you'll find a lot of threads about it, and possible cures. You can try adding pineapple or courgette (zucchini) to her food if she eats her own poo, which sometimes helps. With other dogs' poo it's more difficult - try to avoid it is the only answer I'm afraid. The cats' litter tray must be kept in a place that the dog can't get to, because they all seem to think this is a wonderful treat.

Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Thank for your advise Jeangenie i will give it a go.As for the cats .Its our Neighbour hoods cats that visits our garden in the soil if you get my drift .
Thanks again from Karen & Penny.

Hi!!
We had this problem with our pup Charlie - really had us panicking at first, but trust me theres nothign to worry about. If u use the search facility at the top of the page, you'll find loads of info about this! :D

I've read that ading a little pinapple to their feed stops it but no first hand knowledge.

Is Nutro puppy food a dry complete food?? One of my cockers used to do exactly the same, my vet told me it was because of the dry complete food when it passes through ...........now this is gross...........it still smells like food to them, so they eat it again!! She did suggest using pineapple, to be honest I didn't find it worked, or being behind her all the time to make sure her mess is cleared the minute it's dropped! As my dog has got older she seems to have stopped (thank goodness)

If ours dogs were to go into a neighbours garden and dirty their soil - there would be mayhem. So why is that cat owners get away with this . we are forever having to tidy up after cats in the front/back gardens and it really is not fair. I have a good mind to invite the beloved cat owner to come round and tidy it up every morning .
Im sorry but were cats are involved they owners get away with anything and its so unfair!
