Yeah right, my neighbors would love the kennel dogs getting excited about Mom being out there at 4 a.m. If a dog doesn't have parasites in the first place eating it's own poop sure isn't going to cause them. Fortunately I don't currently have any poop eaters anyway.

Leaving poop in the kennel all day invites pests and parasites to your dogs. Just putting an additive into your dog to make the poop distasteful is not a solution as it does not prevent pests and parasites. Which also brings to mind an interesting question... Who determines what is distasteful to a dog that eats poop? How is this determined? > > Cheers, > Michelle > ============================================================================ ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
