I've never heard of adding Pineapple to their food. Does it matter if it is canned or fresh and how much should be given?

Hi, Yes it is because they can smell the food in the poo. My mother, cleaned up after her little one's as they were getting paper trained, by the time I went for the wipe's and got in the room, she was beating me to it, sound's gross, but that is what they do. If you go to Walmart, I seen a liquid, made for poo eater's. Not sure what it really does, because I did not read it, but might want to check it out. can not hurt. Good Luck

Have 2 things to offer:  the vet said they learn it from mom cleaning them up but I was able to stop them and mom because I was around them 24-7.  Maybe your pets family could not or didn't know to stop what is reported normal behavior and just let it cont. 
our second litter we had:  our vet also said that they could need worming meds.  That worked for the older dogs and the pups were wormed during their check up.  This was 4 older dogs eating poop from horses everytime our back was turned.  almost immediately after they were all wormed the problem decreased 75% and we no longer have poo eating dogs. 
I do think it may be a subject discussed on the internet if you google poo eating dogs and puppies but I google EVERYTHING lol.  I live alone out in the boonies so google is a godsend for my inquisitive mind.

There is a lot of good information out there!

But, I always warn people to be careful what they read though, and not take any of it to heart without contacting a professional. I've had people read that they need to give garlic to their dogs to prevent fleas... 1) It wouldn't prevent fleas and 2) Garlic is poisonous/toxic to dogs. And also there are sources online that say it's safe to give your dog painkillers like Tylenol or Advil. VERY UNTRUE! Can't tell you how many clients we scold at the clinic for giving their dogs painkillers. Very bad for their tummies and it doesn't actually provide any comfort for them.

True to be wary about what is posted online and a good example was the garlic.  I was given advice to use garlic once but my wise dogs wouldn't touch it and like wise with cheap over the counter worm meds. 
I live in an area where I can take all 4 dogs in for a one time office fee of $25.00s for all four dogs to be seen instead of a charge for each animal and each time you walk into the office, which makes it affordable to get animals properly vetted.
