VetHelp 11 Apr 11 11:05 AM In a majority of cases, when a dog or cat eats their own feces, it is a sign of a nutritional deficiency. As a vet tech, I have seen this over and over again. It's no surprise, as pet foods are heavily processed and lack some of the nutrition a canine or feline actually requires. Then the second issue is that this becomes a habit. So, incorporating correct nutrition, usually through a meaty food and a good food supplement AND making sure to walk behind your pet and keep the area clean so he can't do this for about 2-3 months to break the habit works wonders. I actually would recommend starting with a free online health report for your pet which will give you good nutrition information to help fill in the nutrition gaps ( http://bit.ly/bHZg7A )and then make a plan to start breaking the habit.
