overherebc Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Every so often our thai dog (female) eats its poo. It's not regular, as in every day. Usually she poos and heads back to her own area and we scoop the poop and bin it. If we take our eyes off her when she has 'done' just now and then she'll scoop it first. Anyone know why she does this and is there any change we can make to her diet or, and it would be last resort, any meds that can make her poo un-tasty? for her. Her diet is normally dried dog food, plenty of fresh water and cooked meat now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pagallim Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Keep her on a lead when you take her out, then pull her away once she's finished her business. Could be she's not getting enough food or maybe try her with a different diet. On a lighter note, a sign seen at a beach side ladies clothing shop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyExpat57 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Elephants eat their own poo cuz there's beneficial bacteria in it. People drink coffee from beans that are fed to elephants, then the elephant passes and some lucky barista sifts through and (I hope!) cleans them beans thoroughly to make the sh!t (see what I did there?).

(Nice sign) We do change food brand quite often. She is now about 12/13 years old and isn't the energetic dog she was. Sleep/eat seems to be her lifestyle now. Neighbour suggested adding some pineapple to her food, seems the result is that the 'processed' pineapple smell puts dogs off eating the result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellies poo doesn't smell, doesn't have that many bacteria. But because it's digested only in 40% can still be nutritious for babies and for many other animals 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can picture why if you imagine a white hankie being used if you've stuck a load of brown powder up your nostrils. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asean now, formerly Thai Visa is much more Thai oriented so you are more likely to get answers from people who are here long term and have 'Thai related' experience or knowledge especially whe it comes to Thai local dogs. You think all dogs are the same, they're not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david555 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 That dog needs bacteria to digest his food, you may give him dog food, dry dead food...., raw meat does have this as food. Try to find the green, unexpurgated cow's stomach in a slaughterhouse to give it in between, the necessary digestive substances are there, not in the dog food that we provide so easily. A dog is a natural animal , changed by us humans as a toy pet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
