Support Digestion from the Inside Out

If your dog isn’t fully digesting their food, they might crave poop for the missing nutrients. Digestive enzymes and probiotics help break down food, improve absorption, and reduce poop cravings.

What to Expect

• Practice: Daily, with meals

• Best Times: Before or during feeding for better digestion

• Goal: Improve nutrient absorption to reduce poop eating.

Step-by-Step Plan

1️⃣ Introduce Digestive Enzymes

• These help break down proteins, fats, and carbs so your dog gets more nutrition from their food.

• Look for:

  ✅ Bromelain & papain (natural enzymes from pineapple & papaya)

  ✅ Pancreatic enzymes (for better protein & fat digestion)

2️⃣ Add Probiotics for Gut Health

• Probiotics support a healthy microbiome, reducing the chances of malabsorption.

• Great probiotic sources include:

  🥛 Plain kefir or unsweetened yogurt
  💊 Dog-specific probiotic supplements

3️⃣ Watch for Improvement in Digestion

• Signs your dog is absorbing nutrients better:
  ✔ Firmer, well-formed poop
  ✔ Less poop eating behavior
  ✔ Fewer digestive issues (gas, bloating)

4️⃣ Train a Relaxation Cue

• Teach a command like “Settle” by rewarding calm behavior.

• Pair it with a comfy bed and gentle petting.

5️⃣ Slowly Expose Them to Triggers

• Gradually introduce triggers at a low intensity while rewarding calmness.

• Example: Play doorbell sounds softly while giving treats, then increase volume over time.

Paw Tip: If your dog panics, go back to an easier level—progress at their pace!
