REFUSE TO KISS HER UNTIL SHE BRUSHES WITH CREST WINTERGREEN ICE AND GARGLES WITH LISTERINE OR THE NEW SCOPE. NOTHING WORSE THAN POO LIPS.

Deficiency probably. Get her dewormed. Also Look at her food. What are you feeding her?. Give her omega oil after deworming. Put her regular. also put her on kibble. Get her checked at the vet. It is also normal eating poop for pups but normally diet related

cheers

As Vikram stated...sometimes it's a dietary deficiency....get her checked and do some research.
ALSO....some puppies "learn" the behaviour from other dogs....ie mother and or litter mates etc........and like Ronnie says.....nothing worse than "poopy lips"......EEEEK!

You need to be vigilant about picking up the poop as soon as possible. If you have to take her out on a leash to prevent her from eating it then do that. We taught ours to head for the house when she was done so she would get a treat. She will snatch it up in a heartbeat if we are not paying attention. We have certain times of day we take her out just to go potty. Early morning, mid day and late evening. Set up a schedule, stick to it and pick the poop up. I hate poo lips!

It is a behavioural thing...learned it from mom who ate her poop when she was a baby till she left the litter.?? PUPS CHASE TAIL TOO...A LEARNED BEHAVIOUR....MUST BE STOPPED.....SAY phooey...very harsh....be vigilant in picking it up immed....do not let them eat it.

Mamma did...they see it they learn it and if let there ,,it smells fresh   especially if our dogs food is not digesting properly....

NO BIG DEAL    PIC UP POOP IMMED>>>>Feed smaller amounts..

Add   Engzymes into the food....PROBIOTICS FOR DOGS  PILLS AND POWDER
Or add   Yougurt unflavoured

FEED RAW....
