Midnight Snack…

Most dogs have the uncouth habit of snacking on faeces. Here are a few ways to put an end to this nasty habit: The pineapple method suggests that you put small (and keep it small as your pet may start vomiting from too large a piece of pineapple) pieces of pineapple into your pet’s food. This will give the faeces a bitter taste. The courgette method proposes that you cook courgettes in a small amount of olive oil, until soft. Give a small dog 1 to 2 teaspoons, or a large dog 1 tablespoon of the courgettes with each meal. The best way to correct this habit is to restrict access to faecal material. Clean up your dog’s mess as soon as possible! Rewards go a long way, so reward your dog when they behave well, and withhold treats when caught chomping on pooh. Also, provide your pet with enough chew toys and spend quality time with him/her.
