When an older dog is having a behavior change they should be checked out by your vet. Eating stools at this age is not normal and almost always has an underlying medical cause. You can try this supplement if you wish to see if it helps. If it does not, she should definitely see your vet. ( https://www.thepetcarefactory.com/online-store-digestive-health ) It would also be a good idea to add some of this supplement to the other dog's food to make the stools "taste bad" so hopefully it will curb Cora from wanting to eat it: ( https://www.animigo.co.uk/coprophagia-for-dogs.html )

Hello, I was wandering how to stop my dog from eating his own poop. I saw that the internet said to get a "No Stool Eating" chewable.
Hi there. You can certainly try this, if you want to. In my experience, most treats and food additives intended to discourage dogs from eating their poop aren't very effective - it's hard to make poop taste worse than it already does! The best thing to do is simply go out with your dog when he poops. and pick up the stool with a bag and dispose of it before he has a chance to eat it.

My dog takes phenebarbitol... And I am wondering if she can take naturist coprophagia stool eating deterrent
Yes, it should not interfere with the phenobarbital. Coprophagia is a hard habit to break, sometimes these types of products will work, but not all the time. The best thing is to keep the stools picked up. Otherwise, I would just make sure your dog is regularly dewormed, and you may brush his teeth before cuddling! :)

Dove is on a special low fat diet for the rest of her life and we finally figured out that she eats her old poop and her sister’s poop. We noticed that the more poop she eats thats too much fat and then we have to get her probiotics to help her ease
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco. Unfortunately eating stool is a behavior problem without a simple answer. Cleaning up immediately after the dogs defecate and/or leash walking Dove may be the only viable way to prevent this. In some cases training along with deterrents such as Forbid may help, but preventing access to stool is the true solution. This article has a bit more information. https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/dog-behavior-problems-coprophagia

My puppy has been eating her poop and other dogs' poop ever since she's been born. I know it's normal behavior, however she's been doing it for 7 months now. Her sister has stopped this behavior for the most part, but my puppy continues to do this.
It's such a gross behavior of dogs, isn't it?? The best way to get her to stop is to pick up her poop and her sister's poop immediately after they go potty. If it's taken away right after they poop, then she can't get to it to eat it. Keep her on a leash when you are out in public, and immediately move her away from any poop left by other dogs. Stool deterrents can work, and there really isn't one best one, but make sure that whatever one you chose does not contain garlic. That's because garlic is poisonous to dogs. The best way to stop her, however, is to remove her access to it.
