Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco to address your concern. There are definitely things you can do without having to see a veterinarian. Unless the anxiety is so bad that you need anti-anxiety medications, it is not necessary to see the vet for this behavior. There are several things you can try listed below to see if this relieves the separation anxiety. As for eating other dogs feces, you can buy bitter apple and apply it to the feces on the ground to help deter Sadie from eating the feces. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further. 1. Adaptil collar and diffuser 2. NaturVet Quiet Moments Calming chews with melatonin 3. Provide more toys and use sound such as the TV or radio when leaving Sadie home alone 4. PetCube - this device allows you to interact with Sadie using your voice and a laser pointer that you can control from your phone ***All of the above products can be found

Great question! The best way to stop your pup from eating their poop is to pick it up right after they passes the feces. That guarantees they can't eat it. There are also feces deterrent sprays you can get online or in pet stores to stop it. Just make sure that garlic isn't one of the ingredients because garlic is toxic to dogs.

You can try For-Bid powder. Mix it into the food. Buy it from your veterinarian or at the local Petco. You can also leash walk Sadie to steer her away from stool or areas where there is stool. A last resort would be a basket muzzle which may prevent her from eating stool or at least make it harder to give you time to get her away from it. Pick up any stool in the yard before she goes outside or as soon as she is done defecating. Review her diet with your veterinarian to confirm adequate nutrition and use a variety of toys, tasks and exercise to keep her distracted from any stool.

Poor Opal! You're right that it's best for puppies to stay with their mother and littermates until at least 8 weeks of age, but sometimes this can't be helped. Fortunately, there are definitely some things you can do to help her. If she cries in her crate, I would recommend making sure that she has something tasty to eat or chew on every time you put her in the crate - a Kong toy stuffed with peanut butter is a good option, or even something like a bully stick or pig's ear. At night, I would suggest placing her crate right beside your bed - you can even put it on a low table or ottoman if you have one handy, so that she's at eye level with you and feels like she's right beside you. This can be very helpful for young puppies, since they're often very anxious about being alone at night. You can certainly go ahead and start housetraining her - she probably won't have very reliable bladder control yet, but there's no reason you can't start teaching her to potty outside. Here is an a
