Eats poop

Q: Please help! My adorable puppy from Premier Pups eats her poo after each and every stool. I work from home and can stop her most of the time, but not always (i.e. I am in an important video-conference or training a new hire). I see there are meds to prevent this, but do you by chance have a natural remedy that I could try with her?

A: Most of the products designed to help with coprophagy are naturally occurring enzyme preparations. The two most common are Forbid and Deter. You can also try a sprinkle of unseasoned meat tenderizer in each meal. It can take a couple weeks of using any of the the products before you resolve it.
