eating his poop constantly
My boss recently got a beagle pup for his mom's birthday. Snoopy (yes, you heard me right) was every bit as cute and adorable as any puppy out there, always curious and sniffing around the office when my boss brings him around. I love cuddling him, even though he smells quite a bit and everybody likes him. Everybody but my boss' mom. Apparently, Snoopy has this habit of eating his poop everytime he deposits it somewhere and she doesn't like it. They've already taught him where to pee and poop, but he still eats it. I had the same problem with our male lab when he was still a pup, but he stopped after we switch to a brand of dog food which had lower protein content. It has already been months now and Snoopy still has this poop-eating habit. My boss' mother is really annoyed now and has stopped taking care of the pup. She wants to give it away instead but my boss has come to love Snoopy and wants to keep him. But he also doesn't want to deal with the poop-eating. Is it normal for beagles to eat their poops? Or is there any other underlying problem?
