SEP
Beebe off and on seems to be overly interested in her feces (would lick and smell them intently) and at her daycare will eat other dogs poos as they are pooing. I also believe she was intentionally holding the poo in until I had to leave her at home and when I came back, she wouldn't have to go anymore (home video prooves it yuck!)
I have been using this for 2 weeks now with Beebe and it has really seemed to reduce this behavior. Day care says she hasn't done any poo chasing. She still gets excited when she sees another dog hunch up, but so far no snacking on her own that I have seen. The best part is the powder lengthens her eating time and helps her to contemplate her meal a little better so I am sure her body is digesting it better. It takes her 3-4 times as long to eat now. I plan to switch her to Orijen fish after this bag of Solid Gold is up and hopefully that will reduce the frequency of poos. The poo has a curious odor now, still smells terrible, but probably less tasty to her.
Anyways, I give Solid Gold SEP a thumbs up.

~~~PHEW, those poops STINK like crazy.
~~~Sake still poops and immediatley turns around like she is going to eat it, but then smells it and walks away.
~~~Miso looks at Sake like "Holy Hell girl, your poop stinks worse than anything I have ever smelled!"
It took a day or two for Sake to get used to the smell of the powder on her food. It does have a strange odor. To get her used to it, I dipped a small treat into the powder just enough to get the smell and a little taste on the treat. Now when I put the food out with the powder she just eats like normal. It has changed the time of eating though, it does take her twice as long to eat her meal now, which is good because she is getting better digestion.
Thanks for the heads up Lindsay, this product is working great for us!
Pumpkin also works very well to especially on puppy's that either are eating their own poo or mom is eating their poo. Its also a little more natural. It works best on dogs who have just started eating poo but doesn't work as well on dogs that have already had this habit ingrained into them.
I have noticed that foods that are very rich like solid gold, Evo (especially red meat), orijen & Timberwolf Organics have higher rates of dogs eating their poo. I have allot of customer's that have this problem and allot of the time switching to a white meat based food tends to help allot.
I'm heard about canned pumpkin (*not* pie filling) working, as does pineapple?
Horse & Cow Poo is Boo's FAVORITE! Yummy huh, Horse poo is best for eating and Cow poo is best for licking and rolling in : P. I have stopped riding so it doesn't matter to much anymore.
SEP powder has this weirdo pepperminty smell...something that invades your nostrils in a funky way. Beebe really had to pick her way around the kibbles when the powder was on it so that helped in part to slow the eating and improve digestion.
Does anyone else notice somewhat smelly poos on the Orijen Fish vs the chicken?
