Puppy goes crazy before potty and does runny poos

Thanks Vallejo, tried lowering the window and giving him a toy as distraction and it was all good on the 20 minute car drive today. I have a bigger problem now actually, I discovered today that Cinnamon was sniffing around the garden and eating his own poop!

I'm considering adding a bit of pineapple into his food (I don't know if it'll help, because he eats premium kibble and it may be that his poop still tastes kibbly). Anything else that could help him not eat his own defecation?

So many pups eat their own poo, mine sure did, I had to holler each time saying "NO" he would stop. I have heard it is sometimes due to a mineral deficiency, and this may also be the reason for the loose stool. Try some doggie pro-biotics, a little unsweetened yogurt, and the pineapple in his food, all this should help to put some "friendly" bacteria in his tummy.

I see! Thanks for that Laddie's Mom :) I guess I'll be getting some doggie pro-biotics, yoghurt and pineapples on the next trip to the pet store!
 
Just for your info. Another change that often causes digestive upset is the change in water. We always sent a 2 liter bottle of water home with pups and did the gradual change over just as you would with food.
