hi 100%doglover
Does Kipper vaccums meals ? If so , kibble will be "fresh" and sometimes intact in the poop , so some dogs see it at , ehhh , desert ? that may be why Biggles likes Kipper's poop
ahhh thanks for the pic , they're adorable ! How do you tell them apart ?!
How do you tell them apart ?!
Lol, as you can see, Kipper definitely looks a bit more like the senior he is. He's also huge in comparison 42 vs 22lbs! To think we found him soooo tiny before Biggles arrived . We had a GSD for 13 years so that explains it!
ahhh yes I see the grey muzzle now good luck with the poop eating. I have 2 poop eaters here myself .... Bailey only likes poopsicles (so now he's done until next winter ) and Chloé .... she's a cocker mix so that explains a lot
Aw, they're so cute! I love beagles...they have such great personalities!
We have some poop-eaters, too. About the only thing that works is being out there with them, training the 'leave it' command, and cleaning up ASAP. If they're out there unsupervised for a few minutes, they still eat the occasional poop. *sigh*
We have a little poop muncher too
Tried pineapple juice, then pickles, then meat tenderizer and we finally just switched his food for a more high quality blend.
We're still in the mixing stage right now and have noticed a significant difference just in form of his poops. Lot more umm...firmer (less mooshy but not diarrhea)
I 100% agree with Frenchy in that if the food not digested properly it comes out like MORE FOOD!
Our little guy is a scarfer too and I love Frenchy's idea about putting a kong in the bowl to slow him down Can't wait to try that.

Kipper and Biggles are too cute and I love their names.
What are you feeding youir fuzzbutts? It is the grains in kibble that are the least digested and therefore make the poop more appealing to some dogs ....especially hoovers.
Quite often switching to a grain free kibble will stop the turd snackers although it doesn't happen overnight. Keep enforcing the "leave it" command and pick up the poop diligently in the meantime.
Also, to stop them from inhaling the food from their bowls, if you don't have a kong you can also use a tennis ball or small bowl inverted upside down in the middle of their dish.

It was a race to clean up after her.
Thanks for all the feedback and suggestions! And yes, gray muzzles are lovely aren't they
