puppy eating own poop

Zoey continues to eat her own poop. Any ideas as to what to do? I have her on IAMS Puppy food, and giving her puppy bones. We keep cleaning up the back yard so there is not that much out there, but this can't be good for her.

    Did you try FORBID or other additives in the food to make the poop taste awful?

    You can put tabasco on poop to make eating it a bad experience

    Ten years ago I started using nutrition to help resolve many common and chronic ailments, and now dietary/nutrition counseling is part of my treatment. I have a new book, called Dog Dish Diet: Sensible Nutrition for Your Dog's Health and a blog.

    At veterinary hospitals and some pet food stores. Could be called other things. Ask for the stuff that you put in the food to make the poop taste bitter
