Aaron Proffitt 142 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 You can buy stuff to sprinkle on his shit which is supposed to make it taste bad. A pretty ironic product if their ever was. Why they do it is beyond me. 2 Quote Link to post

Once on raw food, never did it again. A lot of tinned and dry food has stacks of flavour enhancers and preservatives in it so the crap still smells and tastes (to a dog!) like food! 1 Quote Link to post

Hmm, all our hounds are eating barf, never see a biscuit type meal, and they all do it & no matter what we try they won't stop. It ain't boredom either, there in peak fitness, but one things for certain they defiantly prefere the looser ones so I'm putting it down to when food travels through them quickly and isn't fully digested.

nicolanewman 1 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Feeding the dog pineapple is supposed to make the shit taste bad to the dog. Don't know if it works but worth a try. 1 Quote Link to post
