Beagle Pooping in the Kichen?

Why has my 7.5 year old Beagle begun pooping in the kitchen? She is somewhat house trained, meaning once in a great while she pees on the carpet. My family and I had moved to a house about 3 blocks (literally) away from our old house and the previous owner had a dog who peed on a certain spot. Now when my dog peed there (about 3 times) I thought it was a "marking" over the other dog's pee.

Recently she had to go to a vet for painful back and neck problems. That was about a month ago and because of that, basically she had gone on a diet. She was heavier before and that was hurting her. Well now she thinks she's starving and actually poops on the floor just so she can eat it. Yuk! She goes out about 4-5 times+ a day and barks when she has to go out. No problem. In the morning she is also let out. Big problem. I think she's holdoing it so she can go inside and eat it over again. She is fed 2 times a day and still gets treats (although not many). But my point is: does she also think they are a present to me? Help!

Your dog's nutritional requirements aren't being fulfilled. Your vet put her on a diet for being overweight. This is correct. However, what food is she eating? Is it a very high quality food? If the food is too "cheap" you can't cut back too much, since the dog won't get the nutrition it needs.

Also, have you cut the calories drastically? It would be better to cut down slowly. Make sure she gets more exercise. This will help her lose weight without having to suddenly cut calories drastically.

Her behavior may be coming from another medical problem. Please take your dog to the vet to check on any other possibility for this behavior. The dog may have a new medical problem that needs medication, etc.

If there are no other problems, your vet can help you with suggestions to change the current behavior.
