I've not been as great about posting litter updates as last litter.  I would like to say all the puppies are developing well and are extremely healthy.  There's been no temperature problems, nor do any even have trouble getting off Zeena.  They all stay there and milk, sleep, and poop!

TONIGHT! Thursday Night Markets in Downtown Chico.  Come see the PPL booth between 4th and 5th on Broadway.

FRIDAY!  Free Speech area on CSUC campus.  There's a free concert with several bands, donations welcome.  Proceeds benefit the local humane society.  Adoptable dogs will be on hand.

In regards to dogs eating their stool, here are some you can try throughout the process of attempting to eliminate stool eating.  I would first recommend giving the dog the best diet you possibly can. 

You can try putting pineapple in the dog's food so that its stool is unattractive to the dog. 

Some people will supplement iron tablets (ask vet for what dose). 

You can try putting tobasco or chili powder on their stools (some have had success with bitter apple).

It is important that you pick up their stool daily and that they don't see you do it. 

Prevent access to the cat's litter box. 

When dogs are left alone, make sure they have plenty of their toys to chew on or occupy their time. 

Take the dog to go in one area, on leash.  Once they're done, reward them all the way back inside or away from the stool before they have a chance to check it out.

Never give them the opportunity to engage the stool.

The product with best success eliminating stool eating is Forbid, available at PetCo and other places.  Use this in addition to the tips above.  If you have concerns regarding this issue, please speak to me and your veterinarian.

I just delivered 8 pups from Zeena.  All are very healthy and stimulated without any problems.   They're beautiful!  One looks like Kane!
