Poop eating help needed
New rescued dog seems to be taking a strong liking to poop. We tried tobasco sauce on poop. He still ate it. We tried picking it up daily. But now we just caught him trying to eat our first dog's poop as she was pooping.
I've dealt w some poop eaters in the past but tobasco sauce always worked. We just recently upped his food amount (he is still really underweight, some of u may remember my past post that I adopted him from my shelter from a guy who couldn't afford dog food).
So we're really not mad at him for doing this bc we think he may have had to do it for food before as he never knew when his next meal was coming. But if anyone out there has other advice, we'd appreciate it. He's a huge lover but his breath his just so staaanky.

Re: Poop eating help needed
Ick.
One of my old fosters was a poop eater. I added canned pineapple in water to their diets and after 1 day she stopped eating it.
I tried the canned pineapple (among other things people recommend) and unfortunately none of it worked. She likes poop and clearly doesn't think it tastes bad so adding pineapple (something she had to EAT in the first place) to the poop didn't alter/effect the taste where she wouldn't eat it. If a dog's going to eat poop and they eat pineapple combining those two doesn't make sense to how that wouldn't be appealing to them. I know it works for a select few dogs so it's worth a try at least.

Our puppy was a poop eater, a tablespoon of italian dressing stopped her!

I would try pineapple before I gave Italian dressing -- there is garlic and onion in salad dressing, which is toxic to dogs, plus salt and sugar.
We live in an apartment complex and it's required to pick up poop immediately after they go. Try this... if there's no poop on the ground, there's no poop to eat. Solved.
Or if you have a backyard and you're doing the whole "picking up piles of poop once every two days" sort of thing, maybe you can set up one of those tinmetel trash bins and use it like a diaper geenie. Get a pooper scooper and pick them up after Fido does his business. Take the poopy trash out when it's full lol.
They also have these meds that I've heard of that will make their poop taste nasty if they eat it. But i wouldn't try this. I would just pick it up immediately.
