Dog eats poop and made its self poorly
Discussion
Dour dog is the same with poo, loves it, never eats her own but will happily chomp on anyone/thing elses.
On any "regular routes" she knows the favourite pooping places of cats and knowing we don't like her eating it will run ahead out of sight to get a good chomp before she thinks we realise what she's up to.
We always hope she'll grow out of it but at 13 somehow i doubt it

They do have some disgusting eating habits, had to drag him off some more on his walk tonight.
He knows he shouldn't be doing it but he's a determined little sod.
I like the lampshade suggestion although not really practical when he starts working rat, Ill keep him on his leash when I know where the muck is and let him loose where it's 'safe'.
You can't keep him on a lead all the time as he needs to burn up energy doing what he was bred for.
Although presently his idea of hunting might not be the same as mine.
Got to love em.

My previous German Pointer used to eat fox poo -utterly disgusting and took a lot of vigilance when out walking him to train him out of it -you had to scream at him the second he dived on it. Took a while and I was on the verge of fitting him with a muzzle while out and about to physically stop him doing it but we got there eventually simply through screaming/smacking/putting on lead etc. However, according to my vet, dogs eating cow/horse/sheep/deer/rabbit s
t is fine -herbivores have different parasites etc to carnivores and the poo contains lots of nutrients because its effectively only partly digested. However, eating cat/dog/fox poo etc not good. If its eating its own poo I'm told putting some tinned pineapple in the food will sort it -tastes good in the food but coming out the other end its utterly repulsive to the dog -allegedly!

There is a risk in them eating dung from livestock which have been recently treated with wormers containing ivermectin.
