i also dunno where got most choices of dog food available...
so far i see most choice i think is pet safari bcoz the shop can afford to bring in more brands of food...

I'm not so sure about the details. I actually got some sample from my aunty who feeds her GSDs this brand. I went thru the website, corn is one of the ingredient of this food. I don't quite like the idea of that.
Maybe, I'll just stick with Acana.

I thought 'ultra premium' and 'sweet potato & fish' are different formula???
I bought the fish formula too for my boy,but haven't let him try yet..hehe! btw,i got it for RM51!!! Where you get the kibbles??

Previously im feed my mini schnauzer Euka puppy formula, it seems ok. then after finished this 3 kgs pack,then switch to euka lamb n rice, from that on,he start to ate his pool,i assume he cant digest properly. then immediate after he finish this pack,i switched it to Orijen 2.8kgs, he like it so much, no more eating poo. now continue with 7kgs pack...

If your dog eats their own poo, to see it as quite a disgusting habit and wish to do something to stop it. If your dog is in the habit of eating faeces you will be less eager to cuddle close to your dog and certainly less likely to want doggie 'kisses'. Also their habit may restrict their freedom as you are more likely to keep your dog on lead at walkies time. From a health point of view you may worry what germs and diseases your dog could be picking up.
Another solution for a dog who eats their own poo is simply to clean it up as soon as they have toileted. You can hope to break the habit but it may take some time. Also, if you clean up poop quickly you risk the poop becoming an item of perceived value to your dog, which is the opposite of what you wish to achieve. Instead, call your dog in for a treat after they have toileted, close the door and with your dog inside go out afterwards to pick up the poo.
more long term solution is to train your dog not to eat faeces. If you make a big fuss when your dog eats poop and try to stop your dog mid-scoff, your dog is likely to simply attempt to be quicker next time. Your dog may even think you are in competition and trying to reach the poop first because you desire to have it. The eating of poo has then become a significant event and could easily escalate into a habit. Distraction and reward is therefore preferable. Teaching the leave command can help. Start with something of low value before you graduate to using the leave command on something as rewarding as poo eating.
So, having mentioned health concerns, it is important to point out that your dog will not suffer many ill effects as a result of eating poop, at least not in the way that humans would

clement..no offence but that method is not always applicable right??
bcoz there are owners who arent at home 24/7 to monitor their furkids pooing all the time as they may have other obligations as well...

i used to have this problem when my baby boy was little...
but i used a pretty useful method recommended by the other forumers here...
if your furkids are used to eating their poo...
then the nex time u see them poo, and you're sure they are going to eat or play with their poo right after they finish their business, hold them back, then cover their poo 100% totally in white pepper...

when your furkids go near their poo, they will sneeze ferociously or even tasted the white pepper....for me this is the method i've tried and ever since then my baby boy have never ever attempted to go near his poo ever again

although this dont work for every furkid also...but this is another alternative

angelgurl_nee,
Thank you sharing the idea. I still feel weird why dog can eat own poo! After eat the poo come and kissing your face. What The FXXX this dog! If this happen always, it need pay more attention and housetraining to preventing. Must tell this dog to stop it. Other else no dog food! dring water only!

lolx...
i think its just like nicteh said...
its probably due to incomplete digestion...so when they poo, their poo still smell of their food
it smells delicious to them...

angelgurl_nee,
I think one day and night how to solve this problem eat own shit. I have an idea put the cili padi on max together with that dog poo. That dog one time eat, should he might remember my recipe.

Cili padi ?! later their stomach churns more worst o...

lolx...
my bf n I got think of the cili padi thing b4 de..
but then we think think think...then we think where we dare to put o...bcoz we think their tongue so sensitive to them dy and they somemore use it to regulate their body temperature de...breathing all oso need their tongue..so we don dare lo...we scare dunno what risk will happen

Pepper is better than chili when it comes to training them not to eat poop.

wah...need so cruel mer??
can just properly ask them 'NO'?
if they still do that again then just punish a bit lo...

lolx....
using the pepper method is faster and far more effective than a NO...
bcoz dogs i think have natural instinct to eat anything that smells like food to them...so i jus use the pepper method once oni then gao dim dy...mikey never ever tried eating his poo ever again

i should try this out. Amos still eat his poo

It's not cruel coz it is not scaring them. I think someone mention he scares his dog using fire cracker so they can be quiet.... now that is just not right lah.

The pepper method works pretty well on most dogs. I do this after I bury a pet, my dogs won't dare touch the grave.

Some dogs eat their poo out of habit, some eat coz they feel they lack of some crucial nutrient from their diet. Some dogs won't eat their own poo but eat other dog's or animal's poo. So to stop them, you must give them an unpleasant experience. Pepper is harmless, just make the dog sneeze only.

sinv,
Let me check with pro about dog eating own poo. I still cannot understand why dog like it? Or you give less dog food to you dog!!!! hahhahahahah.
