Lots of dogs eat dirt… means usually they are lacking in one mineral or another in their food. Scooting the butt usually means that their anal glands are full
@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
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!

Wizard,
I have many times wondered the same thing, I hope somebody has knowledge about it, so I don't have to hover over Otis when he is sniffing around..
yeah, I have had the same thing happen. One dose wont get rid of it. I really think it is making him snarfy as well. I will talk to my vet the next time I go in and do the Fenbendezol only from now on.
