Re: Unfortunately.... (Reply to this comment)

Yes, in this case I would almost have been glad not to find out what it actually means! It was rather a horrifying realization when I finally figured it out.
Sherry Lee, you should definitely check out this book - it gives some good advice on why this happens and how to stop it. Basically, it's a problem in dogs fed a diet high in carbohydrates (like most commercial pet foods, especially dry foods). The solution given is to feed a home-prepared diet that's higher in protein and lower in carbohydrates (reducing the carb content from about 40% to about 25%).
Please let me know if I can clarify anything for you!

Isn't it great how scientists and academics always manage to come up with respectable and obscure sounding phrases for what really shouldn't enter polite conversation?

Unfortunately.... (Reply to this comment)

I know what coprophagy is as I have tried every product and gimmick available to cure it as one of my dogs refuses to give up her favorite 'snack'. Ugh.
This sound like a book I would like, thanks for the heads up,
