    Beagle eating Poop
    All,

    I have a beagle female and not only does she eat her own pooh, she's begun to go into the cat box and pull out the cat's pooh.

    How can I stop this, and keep the cat using his box? I know of the stuff to put in her food to prevent her from eating her own, but the cat's stuff (along with the litter) is just terrible.

    Thanks!:eek:

    Hi, Cici,
    This is sometimes normal behavior.
    Here is a link with some good explanations:
    Stopping Dogs From Eating Poop
    Your dog may not be getting enough vitamins, nutrients, and minerals in the food. Try feeding a good brand of dry dog food, if not already. You can also try changing the food. Best of luck.
