The Lawry's is the same as you get in the grocery store. I hope it works for you. You should sprinkle some on each meal. It doesn't take very much. I sprinkled enough on the food so that I could see the little red specks. I didn't come close to finishing a container before she quite eating poop.
My lab does this with cat poop. I always thought it was pretty gross. She goes at it too. I have a vet visit scheduled here in the next couple of days and I am going to ask her what I can possibly do about it. It just doesn't seem healthy to me. Can't they pick up worms like this, too?
We put carrots in with the dog food and that helped. Alternatively buy a horse. If your dogs likes the taste of his own poop - he will love horse poop and the smell is so much better!
I have also experienced this same problem. It is so frustatrating. I've tried all the products, including "FORBID" and even used "proenzyme" (recommended by the breeder to improve his digestion). The only thing I found that helped ( not cured )was catching him in the act of misbehaving. We have a special place that "Reo" goes out to make. We would observe him and if he picked up any stool, immediately yell "WRONG" in a a very strong tone. He would drop the stool and run away with his head bowed. We even had to observe him when my other dog would go out. Having caught him eating our other dog's stool. He now will go out and I tell him that "Mom is going to clean up". He'll leave the stool alone and walk away. He does on occasion still eat stool if we don't catch him immediately.
Well, my dog did this right after we got him as a puppy. He only did it when he went inside though, and we assumed he was hiding the evidence. The seasoned salt idea sounded good. Most should grow out of it too.
