How Do Stool Eating Detterents Work?
One of the ways you can stop your dog from eating poop is by using a stool eating deterrent. This is a supplement that comes in the form of a chew or powder that alters the taste and odor of feces in a way that actually makes your dog repulsed by it.
They contain a wide range of ingredients that support a dog’s digestive health, so not only do they make poop less attractive to your dog, but also supply your dog with the nutrients he might be lacking – which may be the reason why he’s eating poop to begin with!

Another Possible Solution
I had a miniature Dachshund years ago who suddenly started eating rocks in the driveway. I took her to the vet, and he suggested she may have a vitamin deficiency and recommended a daily multi-vitamin. It worked! She stopped eating rocks.
