Mine does, and he finds it irresistable.
First thing, you should take your kid to your vet to check if he is digesting his food properly. Dogs sometimes ingest their poop as there are remnants of undigested food there. Disgusting as it may seem to us, it is quite acceptable for them. If it is all clear from the vet, it may be more of a behaviour or stress rather than indigestion.
Sometimes, the dog behaves like that due to his instinct or due to stress. We should not scold or raise our voice to MS, as they are quite sensitive to it. He may think that you are scolding him when he poops, and thus he will eat it to conceal the 'evidence'. What we did was we leave the poop there (if he poops on the correct spot) while watching him closely. If he walks over and tries to eat it, we will tell him "NO" and ask him to "SIT". Repeat a few times, and he will get the point sooner or later. Occasionally "accident" happens, especially during the night, but I guess that can't be avoided. According to my vet, he will grow out of it. We can't wait for that day....

thx a lot for ur clear explanation...but tom is just 7 weeks now...do u think its safe to bring him to the vet so small?

Good question, I m not too sure about that. Why don't you call up your friendly vet and ask instead of going there straight? He/she should be able to give you advise over it and also tell you when is the best time to head over. However, you do need to visit the vet eventually for Tom's vaccination, and you can ask him then as well.

Good luck!

i dont mean "poo", he will eat his "vomit" .......

luckily i put him in a plastic dog crate !!!

He mostly ate dog food but sometime we give him chicken, apple, pear, vege, carrot, etc. I know dog can't eat grape and chocolate. I think I better consult doc then

ok...most of this problem occured after the grooming session...defnitely because of the unsterilized grooming equipment, and it's irritated your dog's skin...

there are two reasons for the rashes
1. they never sterilzed the clipper
2. after grooming all the natural oil of the coat been removed, so it will definitely caused the rashes..

to overcome this problem, u can try to use malaseb medicated shampoo....

i called it grooming allergy .. is ok if not really serious rashes occur...

Jason, just a query...how do you sterilize the clipper? I have a clipper that my Mom uses to clip Scottie's coat sometimes, and I notice recently that he contracted bumps after grooming. Maybe it's grooming allergy, or maybe it's not, but to eliminate that probability, I think I'll sterilize the clipper just in case...do I just take the blade out and soak it in hot water / use Germisep? Or is there any sterilizing solution for clippers? I have a Kim Laube clipper (forgot the model name) and the blade is detachable, but there's only a lubricating oil and brush to clean the clipper.

i am using those special formulated for clipper...it's functioned as a sterilizer, as a lubricant for the blade and release heat of the blade. ,.. do not soak the blade into warm water as the blade will spoil. u can get the sterilizer at seapark pet supplier, at pj...last time i bought around rm 50-60..forgot the price d

Thanks...will look into that

no problem... do check out those website on how to groom schnauzer ...there are template of the standard grooming of schnauzer..if still not sure, jsut msg me no worries

Yup, saw lots of it...but I don't groom Scottie myself My Mom does it for me sometimes, but for the really good grooming, I just send Scottie to the pros.

After reading about stripping and all, I really wish I had the time to learn and do it myself but since I don't know anyone who can teach me (and I'm too chicken to DIY through trial and error), I guess Scottie will have to be clipped... Maybe I should look into getting a show potential dog, yes? Show dog breeders definitely will know how to strip (or at least know people who knows how to strip ) Haha! Hopefully that will be in the future, when I get better pay

dont be chicken, hand striping can be hard and can be easy as well. guide u whn meet up u can do some simple striping urself...if u need mroe profesional, u need to get the setof striping knife

Ooh, cool...you know how to strip? Would love to see how it is done (and if I can do it myself.. Use clipper also I can get it wrong, so I'm more hesitant with the stripping blades!) I've read about plucking (use fingers to pluck the fur out) but that doesn't look that feasible, and I've seen an owner who did that before...it's not as nice as a properly stripped look, in my opinion. Haha!

so is ur ms stop eating his own poop already?

yup...nvm...i teach u whn meet up ya...
