Help, Dog eating chicken poop

Yep, at our house we don't say cat poop, we say cat candy. Add to that chicken candy and bunny candy and...okay I'm stopping there but you get my drift....dogs will be dogs, what won't they eat?!

We refer to them as doggie mints. Once our minature schnauzer (may God rest his doggie soul) was sitting on DH's lap. The dog was licking his face and being absolutely loveable. Then he burped. DH was totally disgusted because the burp smelled like the cat's litter box. He was a good dog, but he loved cat poop. He had to be put down at age 14 due to cancer. We loved him despite the poop fetish.

Oh yum, I'm eating lunch while I read all of this - I have nothing super insightful to add, just that I too am grossed out by my dog's fondness for poo... by Border Collie loves it when I let the rats out to play because she gets to pick up what the boys and I call "feces peices".
I chose (rather unwisely) to read this topic because while I haven't gotten my Silkies yet, it did occur to me that there would be a huge ammount of poop issues to deal with.- I intend to keep them indoors - hence the small docile breed, and wondered if someone else had their dogs come up with health issues from eating chicken "it". I'm buying diapers for them but if they don't work out, they'll be doing their business all over the house...
I know no one asked... but hey, advice is free, so I'd say that anyone thinking of getting rid of a dog because it eats poop might want to smile and ponder the thought : " at least I'm the species that dosn't enjoy that sort of thing...at least it's not my problem" (a dog's gotta do what a dog's gotta do)
I'm going back to my "human food" now.
Have a great day chicken people!

OK, just what exactly do you think is in those "pills"

I only wish I could teach my dogs to lick the deck clean.

My Great Pyrenese's favorite thing to do is eat the hoof trimmings when I trim the goats hooves. It's kind of disgusting, but cleans up the barn. My wife thinks it's gross.

Did you see the dirty jobs episode where they took cattle hooves and filled them with peanut butter and then sold them to people for dog treats.

At least every part of a cow is used when it's processed.

Yup, it was great to see that. As a natural rearer and long time raw feeder I love to see that type of thing being publicized. I know the processors I buy from love to see me coming. I take almost everything that nobody else wants (I have even taken sheep heads to feed for the gross out factor for the neighbours we don't get along with ) and with most I make treats that I sell.

Some days my house just smells so lovely.

Like I said earlier, my dogs love to snack when out at the farms, but there favourite thing to do is roll in the dead fish we find on the beach. Now there is a stench! I can't bathe 5 dogs fast enough..lol.
