This behavior in dogs may usually be caused by the following reasons: First of all, it may be because the food the dog eats is not fully digested, and the feces excreted contains a lot of nutrients, so the dog will eat feces. It is recommended that owners clean up their dogs' feces in a timely manner, feed them with small meals frequently, or add an appropriate amount of probiotics to the food to help the dog digest food.
Secondly, dogs suffering from pica will eat their own feces. Some dogs will also lick walls, eat clods of soil, eat plastic bags, etc. This is mainly due to the lack of trace elements in the dog's body or the imbalance of trace elements. It is recommended that owners feed their dogs special trace element tablets for pets. They should pay attention to the combination of food when feeding, and buy dog food with a balance of trace elements and vitamins.
It may be natural for dogs to eat poop, but owners should stop it in time when they see it. After a long time, the dogs will know that it is inedible.
