If your dog has a coprophagia problem, the best thing you can do is give your dog a meat based, grain free, moisture rich food. Raw food diets are best, and canned food is the next best thing. If you can’t do either, dehydrated food is a good option–once reconstituted, these foods have a much higher moisture content than kibble, and are easier on a dog’s digestive system.
There are only a few brands of dehydrated food out there. There is only one brand that I recommend because 1.) it has several grain free options and 2.) it is widely available and doesn’t appear to have the same production problems as the other major brand. All foods that I use are made in the US or Canada. I have linked to Pet Food Direct, as it is the most inexpensive site that I can find online to get specialty dog food (please see my post on the cheapest place to buy pet food online). If you have better sources to get them online, I’m always looking, so please send me an email.
