If ur dog is eating any type of fecal matter it's usually do to a potasium deficiency.Try smashing half a banana into their food daily and u'll see the difference in notime.But if ur dog won't stay out of the litter box try pouring a bit of pineapple juice onto ur cat's food.It won't harm the cat and ur dog will be discouraged by the odor.

I had a dog in south africa who used to chow down other dogs poop. Yummy! Apparently dogs that eat poop are short on potassium or something like that.

I actually have a Chinese friend that has her own dog-grooming shop. She herself has NINE poodles. She is actually planning to move to Yunnan soon, and taking her business with her. At least in my city, it is not uncommon to go to a bar and see anywhere from 2--10 dogs and their owners in the bar. On just my block alone, there are at least 15 seemingly well-cared for dogs--all owned by native people. And we even have a pet shop across the street. My email is cecilhbelle@gmail.com. If you like, I can put you in touch with me friend. Her English is pretty good, and she knows a lot about the dog situation here. Cathey—

I have a dog and a cat, I don't let the dog in the room with the cat's litterbox anymore, because everytime I did, he would dive into the litterbox and chow down all that shit!! Also, dogs use their tongues to lick their assholes! It's their TP. Dogs are nasty. I don't understand people who let their dogs like their face, it's like licking a toilet bowl! And they can transmit you parasites too... What James said is true, dogs like to eat poop.

Any dog anywhere will eat human turds, unless it's been trained otherwise. That’s not unusual at all. Any dog anywhere will eat human turds, unless it’s been trained otherwise.

Unless you set up the operation yourself and trained the people appropriately, it is likely things would not go as you are planning. Most pet shops in China are full of pets that do not get sold – this is my observation.

Although there are recommended vaccination programs for dogs and whatnot I know many people would likely ignore them in China.

These are expensive dogs and i am worried they could be eaten or that their fur could be used for clothing. How do I ensure that my dogs would be well cared for . Does China have routne vaccination programs for dogs and humane societies? I want more information on dogs in china as pets. I am interesting in selling red standard poodles in china as pets.

I remember asking someone why dogs eat shit and they told me it was an instinct that allowed them to assure that their "mark" was the only thing marking their territory... pretty shitty way to show ownership if you ask me.
