Eating horse and cow poop is very different than eating dog poop. Eating dog
poop can be a bad habit. Or it could mean that the poop being eaten has a high
protein level in it. This would mean the dog whose poop is so tasty, may have
a digestive disorder. I have a girl with EPI. She does not digest or absorb
food normally. She also gets animal enzymes and nutrients added to her meals.
Every dog here will eat her poop. These same dogs don't touch any other poop.
Eating horse and cow manure has more to do with the grasses in the poop. And,
poopsicles seem to be really fun for dogs. When I had horses, the dogs loved
to bring and show me their frozen poop prizes. Ok, that was when I was in MN,
not CA. The weather here doesn't often get cold enough for poopsicles. Mom's
and pups are a different story. I have one Mom who will still eat her
daughter's poop. Her daughter is almost 3 yrs old. But, Mom will not touch
any other poop, except EPI girl's. Mom and daughter
live in the house together. Daughter has no health or digestive issues.
This is weird and I have no explanation for that other than Mom is weird or
doesn't want to give up being a Mom, LOL!

I also think puppies start eating their own poop because they see their mom
eating their poop. So they figure if it's ok for their mom to eat it, then
it must be ok for them! As they get older, most of them stop eating the poop,
but there are still some that love it! Especially the 'winter popsicle
poops'! My dogs (or some of them) love to dig up the frozen poops and go nuts
eating them! I think it's more instinctive then something lacking in their
diets, because my dogs enjoy a healthy diet! Cheryl
