Like fresh, two week old, frozen (my kids call them Poopsicles), doesn't matter. But when I light him up on a 4 on the TriTronics, he's done with that "poo poo" straight away. Am I a bad owner, or is my lab a retard? He's 6 now, if that helps. He's eating poop (his and/or others) because he knows he needs the digestive enzymes. Go get him some green tripe and I guarantee he will stop eating poop.

Superconsndar posted:Nah man some dogs just like poop That may have been a learned behavior then because he's never known another source. Wilds dogs do sometimes consume feces of other animals, but again -- it's not because they like poop; they can smell the nutrients, minerals, etc and they know what they like and what they need. There's an insane amount of nutrients that are not absorbed and excreted by dogs that eat dry/processed kibble. If your dog came across another dog who was on a raw/BARF diet they wouldn't eat the poop... because there's nothing in it but bone. Darth123123 posted:Wtf is tripe? And will I throw up handling it? Is it like poo poo? If so, he'll eat that up. It's the stomachs of ruminating animals and the full contents of whatever they were grazing on, their digestive enzymes, etc. It's a bit pungent, but not terrible. And the moment your dog smells it he will flip out  edit: wording feld fucked around with this message at 00:43 on Feb 23, 2015 |
