QuestionMy maltese, Molly, will be 5 months next week. After seeing her eat her poop about 2 weeks ago (and being totally grossed out!), I came online and started investigating. I read that giving her pineapple mixed in with her food would help and it has. Thank goodness! Can the pineapple harm her in any way? I give her a tablespoon of canned crushed pineapple once a day. How long can I keep doing this so she doesn't return to the poop-eating??
Thank you.
AnswerDogs eating poop; Maltese eats poop; zucchini for poop eaters:
Hi Mary, Maltese eating poop! Yes, Pinapple does work and it is safe as long as you have the NO added sugar kind. (1-2 teaspoons per day)
Also, see here about zucchini and poop eaters:
