Dogs will eat their own stool out of boredom, curiosity or in an attempt to balance a nutritional deficiency. Review Mike's diet to ensure adequate nutrition. Leash walk him regularly and restrict access to the yard if there is stool outside. You can use a food additive such as FOR-BID to prevent this behavior. Purchase it from your vet or in most pet stores.
