Default RE: Lab eats poo!

we got an old lab and she was really overweight. The vet told us to cut down her food so we did. She began cleaning up the backyard, and would come in the house with wonderful breath[X(] We increased her food back to what it was, and she stopped. My dog will be fat and have better breath. We are pretty sure that in her previous " home" she had probably gone several days without food in her early years (when the childern were responsible for her care) and learned that eating her waste helped with the hunger. She still likes to find cat or horse droppings (like the rest of our dogs) from time to time, but at least the backyard is safe.
