Does it mean she is missing something in her diet, or is it just something that some dogs (unfortunately mine) do !! Any advice appreciated (or anyone else out there with a dog that does this please post, so I know we are not alone !!).
You are certainly not alone!
Coco used to eat all sorts of poo - her own, other dogs, cat, horse, cow, rabbit, deer, sheep, swan ......... you get the idea! She used to be desperate for it - but she seems to have more or less grown out of it and will sometimes just have a little nibble but she will usually stop when I say no
I always have treats in my pocket and if I saw her about to eat poo I would just say firmly "no" and distract her with a tasty treat. You wouldn't think it was hard to find something more tasty than horse poo but it is harder than you would imagine
Coco also likes to bodyslam cowpats - the runnier the better.
How old is your dog? She may grow out of it but some dogs seems to persist longer than others!
