Dog Poop as Candy?
Dear Dr. Baum --
I have a one year old Chihuahua that has started eating her poop. What can I use on her food that would deter her from this habit? Thanks for your help.

Dear Gail --
You can buy Accent in the supermarket. Mix about 1/8 teaspoon with each meal on an every other day schedule. It is also sold as Forbid in pet stores but is more expensive.
