Is your canine picking up new eating habits especially in the area of eating horse poop? You might want to talk with your vet to learn ways to discourage this new habit. In many cases, dogs will eat horse poop because of its taste and smell. But horse poop can be dangerous if you don’t know what horse it came from and what diet that horse is on. For instance, if your horse is on any kind of antibiotic, supplement, or pain medication then that could get into your dog’s system via the horse poop. If you take your dog to a barn with numerous horses then the chances of knowing if the poop is safe are slim. The best solution is to have your Golden avoid it altogether, which may mean not allowing him on the farm. Another alternative would be to block access to paddocks, stalls, and manure piles.
