    I've seen my 8 yr #86 pound, (not overweight) lab start to eat feces, then of course he vomits it up, HORRIBLE SMELL. He eats 31/2- 3 3/4 cups dry food purina one salmon per day. Should I up his food to 4 or 4 1/4? He never sits, is always moving, and he's not a fatador (accoriding to vet). Oh and of course he'd eat more if I gave it to him.

    Hi Coby, this is a very common behaviour in dogs. Giving him more to eat will be unlikely to help. Have a look at this article Why dogs eat poop and what you can do about it and let us know if you have any questions
