Your dog is not getting enough excercise. It's bored. Also, you should not leave your dog outside unattended. They are like kids and looking for attention but the main reason is lack of excercsie

Got a dog that eats only cat shit. No cat shit around here is missed. I think he waits until the cat squats in the litter box to know when desert is served.

We decided not to fight it and just renamed him shit eater.

Mine did the same, it means they are missing essential nutrients in their diet. What kind of food do you feed him?

This is no lie they or he or she is not getting enough minerals in their diet, it shows they have a mineral deficiency.

maybe cold corn tastes better to him?

He needs a diet supplement, other than peanuts of course, they are sold at petsmart and such. Eventually he will stop the practice but only after about the age of ten months or twelve months. Also try feeding him numerous times a day rather than once or twice.
If that doesn't work try going boom boom on top of the steamy pile, dogs won't eat human poo. Especially after twelve budweisers and a bag of pork rinds dipped in ranch dressing.

yadda yadda yada mama....
never know sometimes.... default always seemes to be refer to everything as a he.
my dog is a "he"
my daughter is a "he"
and my unborn kid is referred to as a "he/him"



backcracker,
easiest thing to do would be to just pick up the poop after the doggy does his thing.

I had major issues with one of mine eating poop. she was terrible with it.. 2 solid years of trying to stop it from happening.. out one end and right back in th eother end.

of course, the best is when you dont know they ate their crap and they come lick your face.

cracker....in all seriousness....spend the money on
the best dogfood...got a 8 month old golden ret.
...she is a horse already and healthy as it gets...
the reason dogs eat catchit is cats eat better than
humans, they eat much less so owners can
spend more....seen the price of cat food???...I've
often wondered if some of the really poor people
who buy mass quantities of cat food don't prefer
it over cans of tuna fish...please tell me you don't
buy OL'ROY...I've heard dogs can eat that chit
all day long and still die of starvation because there
is no nutritional value in that crap....spend the $$$

Thanks for the help to some of you. I am feeding him pedigree wet a few scoops three times a day with a cup of eukanuba dry mixed in. After he eats I take him out and he will shit but not eat it. I clean it up and everything is fine he never eats the shit in front of me. However if I feed him or he shits when I am not home I can tell he has eaten it because there are remnants that he has shit. Also I had him at my office and put him outside on a patio and was told by another person who could see him that he had shit, eaten the shit, threw up and ate the vomit. I seriously do not know what to do I am planning on changing his diet to natural balance or eukanuba wet, leaving more food out if I go out for the evening but have left dry and know he has shit and eaten it. HELP.

Maybe he really likes the taste?
I had a lab mix that was a shit eatin dog. Nastiest thing I have ever seen. I changed his food to Iams and I have yet to see him eat anymore shit. I can't really say if it was the Iams, or the fact he ran away the same day but at least I didn't have to see it.
