The dogs eat different food for health reasons. The Chihuahua tries to eat the Lab's food and now he's eating his poop as well.

take each dog out to poop alone, and pick up the big dog's poop as soon as they do it so there is nothing for your little dog to eat.

There is a powder sold by Solid Gold called S.E.P (Stop eating poop) you put it on the food of your dog (the one who is getting his poop eaten) and it makes the poop taste even more undesirable than it already must and they stop eating it. I know because I had a dog before that was a clean freak and ate his own poop and we had to use this kind of powder on his food until he stopped eating poop.

You need to make sure your chihuahua is getting enough calcium and protien! Also your dog is probebly doing thisa because the lab is bigger and the chihahua is intimidated!

Either do what the other person said, or litter box train the little dog and don't let the little dog in the big dog's poopy place!

Feed the little dog just a little bit extra. That way it will be too full to eat crap.

This indicates a vitamine dificiency and you need to ask your vet about it - I would suggest that you clean up after both dogs after they have done their business for other health reasons as well - Good Luck

Spray it with somthing really nasty tasting like hairspray or hotsauce.. may take a couple times but he will figure out that it taste bad and never want to eat them again.

I really don't know if the food is the issue. My puppy eats cat litter. He will also eat their food, pens, paper, stuffing out of his toys, water bottles.....basically anything he can get his mouth around.

There is a food additive that you can get from a vet or a pet store, good luck.
