That's just cruel, and anyway he'd probably love the smell and want more

Thanks for that. Going to buy some pineapple and try that!

I think he does it as he came from an awful rescue home (we effectively rescued him from there) where he was in a room with 20 other dogs and very little food, so think he ate his poo as he was hungry. But he still does it sometimes even though he's fed very well now.

Some do it instinctively, I always thought my dog did it because she was a bitch and it was hardwired to protect pups, but she was a stray so it could well be a hunger thing that developed into habit too! She eats the chicken poo too. Daft hound.

Rabbits have to eat their own poo, they redigest it all. The small round droppings you see on the chase have been round twice.
I try to forget that when I'm kissing my bunny on the nose....

Someone recently told me it's to do with hiding their presence in the wild. stop their prey/predators from knowing they're around. My cat had a bad tummy the other week and was obviously feeling rather sick. he ate his dinner VERY slowly then as soon as he'd finished it barfed it all back up into his bowl. Had to take the bowl away from him because he kept trying to eat it again. bleghhhhh

When my dog was a puppy he used to eat cow poo,

A woman with an allotment down the road used to pick him up and let him lick her face when we went past. Yuck!!!

Perhaps she went home and performed fellatio on her hubby who then stuck his nob up the family cat's arse which the cat itself could lick then catch a mouse and after chewing half of it then spat it out and the debris was eaten up by a pigeon which was then shot by a farmer who left it to rot and ploughed the remnants into the field which fed the grass that the cows ate prior to having a poo......

We had this problem with both our Staffy pups and found that mixing a garlic glove in their food stopped them fairly quickly.

We also had a funny incident when my ex wife came to collect my son and I was encouraging one of the dogs to give her a kiss, knowing what the pup had just consumed
