well ive heard of those sh*t eating dogs before but i now have one its a 13 week old pup do they do it becouse they are missing somthing in there diet???????
Most vets will tell you that when they are eating their own waste there's something missing. There's some kind of powder or chemical you can get to spread over the the dog food when you feed them. I've been told this substance will keep them from eating their waste. Feel free to ask your vet about it, perhaps he or she may know of it.

From Field to Show and Show to Field the way it should be
We have found that often a pup or dog will do this do to giardia,treat three days in succession with panacur/safeguard and that will rid giardia.The explanation is quite lengthy but will go into detail if interested.
