eating dog dirt

Question
I have a six week old puppy and every time he goes he turns around and eats it. How do I stop this.
                    Thank you Beverly

Answer
Hi Beverly!Your puppy NEEDS to see a vet for a general exam and ESSENTIAL vaccines. Especially if you are letting your puppy outside and around other dogs. You do not want him to contract parvovirus or other.

What you can do for now since he is eating his own feces is sprinkle some MSG (yes the food additive) to his meals and that should help. It makes the feces not appetizing.

Good Luck!
