Some good info on poop eating. I came to much the same conclusions working with our Binti. It was a combination of nutrition, supplements (vit. A, B, peat water, probiotics) and the right attention during walks. In the seasonal changes (especially summer-autumn and winter-spring) she needs more support for her immune system - she can start to eat poop again literally from one day to the next. Then I know it is time to supplement. http://healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2017/01/18/dog-eating-poop.aspx?utm_source=petsnl&utm_medium=email&utm_content=art1&utm_campaign=20170118Z2&et_cid=DM131216&et_rid=1846775050

@JENGOSMonkey, @elbrant, @tanza, @Kembe, @eeeefarm, @helle-devi Thank you all for the kind words, it has not been easy but this does help. We actually got his ashes back today and the place did a fantastic job, came back with ceramic paw print and all. It will last bring final closure, he is home. @helle-devi results confirmed what was suspected, IBD, for which we had already started his medications. I think it was just his time.

@maureen252 - You can add some wet, I do.... and also add some water with the kibble and wet food... I put in about a small tablespoon of wet. And some Basenjis do drink a fair amount... some of mine did/do some didn't

Like Pat, I rotate foods, give them some of most things I eat (just a bite or 2).. so changing foods fast isn't an issue. Right now, yes do it slowly. Origen is good. And yeah to the pumpkin suggestion.. a few spoons can help help firm up the stools.

Hi Shelley – Poppy did the same when she was a puppy with her own and the other dogs offerings but she has grown out of it now with the exception of rabbit droppings and as Scott says cat droppings which most dogs seem to find irresistible!. We have been feeding Royal Canin with no problems, so it may not be down to that. It may be a family trait! Steve.
