Thanks!

dogs munching piggy poop!!
Ralph and Bertie (my dogs) love eating Pam and Stan (my kunekune)s poo!
Is it ok for them? Of course I pick up as much as I can to deter them, but they keep finding hidden plops int he pig patch!
Apart from making their breath smell, is it bad for them???
thanks!
