When flea larvae in your pet's bedding eat tapeworm eggs, the worm grows into an adult in the flea. When your pet gnaws at flea/tapeworm hosts, it digests the flea, which frees the tapeworm to infest their digestive system. Egg-laying segments of these tapeworm that look like grains of rice may be seen on your pet's anus or bedding. A second type of tapeworm is acquired from small animals your pet may hunt and eat.

Wonder why dogs eat poop?

There are many reasons for which dogs eat their poop. One is that their mother eats the feces of the pups until they are old enough to come out of the den. If she did not do this, predators would locate and kill the pups in no time.

Dogs also eat it because they were left alone too much, and perhaps all they had to eat on for entertainment was their poop. This is one reason why you really need to be sure the breeder from whom you purchase takes good care of the pups. Puppies develop very bad habits very quickly, and have to be supervised at all times. It's easy for them to adapt to your routine, but it's also easy for them to create their own.

Poor nutrition is yet another reason for this disgusting habit. Put your dog on an all-natural food, so he does not feel the need to increase his nutrients by eating poop.

So what else can you do to stop dog eating poop?

Now that you have some understanding of the problem and the health risks, here are three of the better alternative ways to cure the problem:

1. Feed your dog fresh pineapple (not canned). He will love the fruit, but his poop will taste really bad to him once he eats that.

2. Claim the space if he tries to eat his poop. To "claim," you straighten yourself up like a proud soldier, shoulders and head up, eye contact on the pup the entire time throughout this exercise. Stand between him and the spot, with feet spread halfway between the military "At ease" and "Atten-hut!" Remember, hold the eye contact. When the puppy lies down and turns away (or walks away), you may walk away from the spot, because he has now surrendered the area to you.

3. Clean up the dog poop each time he goes.

There is another solution to stop dog eating poop. It's not a favorite of mine, because if your timing is off, you could make your dog afraid to go poop. So ALWAYS let him finish before doing this. If he turns around to eat his poop, squeeze something loud (like a bike horn). Dogs hate that noise! It will make him afraid to go near the mess.

For some dogs, a squirt of water works well. But, you have to be very careful that you only use it in serious correction times, or the dog may really come to like it. My friend messed that up, and her dog stands with his mouth open when she gets the water gun.

As they say, there is more than one way to skin a cat!

So evaluate your pup against these reasons why dogs eat poop and try the suggested remedies. One of them is sure to work for you to stop dog eating poop.
