Question
How can I stop my boston terrier from eating its own feces?

Answer
Hi Margie,
    This can turn into a nasty habit, but what you can try to do is to add Accent (u know the stuff u use for cooking) to his food (dry or canned food) the MSG is supposed to make his feces taste horrible. You can try sprinkling hot sauce on his feces.
  If these things do not work you can goto your local vet. and they can give you a product called  Forbid, which basically does the same thing as the Accent. Oh...also you need to try and pick up his feces as soon as he does it, if you pick it up immediately he can't eat it (smile). Well.. take care and good luck.
