Beau sometimes eats his poop before I can get it at DDRR so I had to make sure he was on a long leashed walk so that I could get the poop for the fecal exam for heart worms.
I forgot to ask the vet about dogs eating poop but from the research I have done there is not a whole lot that can be done about it except for what I have already tried like sprinkling Adolph's Meat Tenderizer on his food. A trick I got from a lady at DDRR who used to work for some vet offices up in CT. Jon Snow lives!!!

A vet told me years ago regarding a pup we rescued from a puppy mill, that many believe it's engrained in them as a way to prevent predators from tracking them or, in the case of a mama pup, to remove traces of her puppies for their safety from predators, she also eats their's. Survival of the fittest, but EWWWWWW!
