Hi, Doghouse --
If your dog is eating soil, I wonder if he's not getting enough of certain minerals in his diet. Does your holistic kibble have any added vitamins and minerals? If not, you might look into a multi-vitamin/mineral supplement.
I'm not sure what attracts dogs to manure, but they all seem to go for it, no matter how well-nourished they are. My dogs always seemed to think horse manure was the best treat ever!
Good luck to you & your pup!
