Do you think that dried pineapple would work?

Mine will actively search for and eat cat poop and bunny turds, but thankfully not dog poop.

Some will only eat it when it's frozen. Not sure why they like the "poopsicles" but some do.

If they are eating each other's, there is something you can add to the food to discourage it. If they are eating the poop of wild animals, there isn't much you can do to stop it. It's a normal but gross thing, and trying to keep them away from it is about all you can do.

A few pieces of pineapple at least once a day. They like it as a treat too, but not so much because its high in sugar.

The pineapple juice works well but also you can buy something called Nasty habit which will do the same thing but it's safe for dogs that have allergies.

My Princess started doing this about 3 months ago. I called my Vet and he said if she is eat other dogs poo(which is what she is doing) it is a territroial thing. I live in a condo community and have to walk Princess so as soon as I see her going to eat some thing on the graond I tell her to "DROP IT" sometimes she does other times I'm to late. It is so gross But atleast I know I am not the only one with this problem.

Try giving them raw rib bones. They may be eating their stool because they are not getting enough of a certain nutrient. Raw ribs help their digestive system like magic!
