Ew! Let’s Talk About Your Pet’s Most Unappealing Habit
Let’s be honest, few things are as unappealing to a pet owner as seeing their dog or cat eat poop. It’s gross, we get it. But before you get too frustrated, know that this is a very common issue, and there are plenty of strategies that can help!
1. The “Don’t Let Them!” Rule
This one seems simple, but it’s the most effective. Be on “poop patrol”!

- Be a quick-draw scooper: As soon as your pet does their business, be ready to scoop it up. This removes the temptation entirely.
- The cat box dilemma: Is your dog getting into the cat’s “snack bar”? Consider a self-cleaning litter box or placing it somewhere out of your dog’s reach.
2. Make Life More Interesting
Sometimes, a pet with too much time on their paws will get into trouble.
- Puzzle time: Engage their brilliant minds with interactive toys. A bored pet is often a mischievous pet.
- Get those legs moving: Regular exercise is crucial. A good walk or play session can work wonders for both physical and mental well-being.
- We can help! If you’re struggling to fit in enough walks, our dog walking services are here to help keep your pup active and stimulated.
3. Address the Root Cause (and Talk to a Pro!)
- Medical check-up: A sudden change in behavior warrants a trip to the vet. This can rule out any underlying medical reasons like parasites or other health problems.
- Diet and supplements: Ask your vet about your pet’s diet. Sometimes a change in food or adding supplements like digestive enzymes can make a difference.
Remember, this is a very common habit, and it can be managed with patience and consistency. We’re here to help you and your pet every step of the way.
