My dog is on the B.A.R.F. diet (Bones and Raw Food) and from all the stuff I have read, dogs on the raw food diet rarely if ever eat their own feces. My dog never has, so maybe it is all ligit?!

I have been told by our vet (homeopathic medicine & convential) and what I have read in books point to the diet lacking in something they are missing (vitamins/minerals) and the dogs eat feces because of it. Also systems of dogs that are NOT on a raw diet are never satisfied with the lack of nutrients they are getting in kibble, canned or cooked food.

Just something to look into. The other good thing about a raw diet is that your dog in all likelyhood will not get fat. Plenty of exercise and feeding a raw diet, the dog will regulate it's own nutritional intake if you are feeding it properly (balanced diet of 75% meat and 25% veggies) I could go on forever but your best bet if it has peaked your interest is to investigate, read, ask, explore. A good book is 'Reigning Cats and Dogs' and 'The B.A.R.F. Diet'

Good luck and I'm glad your pooch is not eating it anymore.

Cheers,
Lisa
