Question
i have a pomeranian she is 18 months old she is eating my other dogs stools i have tried lemon juice pepper curry powder vinegar none of these worked have you any advice on what next i can try thanks i look forward to your reply

Answer
Some dogs eat stool if they are missing something in their diet. Others do it just because they think it tastes good. I would simply start picking up the stool before she has a chance to get to it.

The other thing I worry about is if your other dogs possibly have worms. They are transmitted from eating another dogs stool.
