It is very common for puppies or dogs to eat their poo. It might be irrelevant to human but for dogs, poo might be something interesting to them. What is so interesting about POO that let your dog enjoy it so much? Eating poo is popular among puppies. So do not worry if your puppies or dogs are having these problems and there is a solution for it.

Why your dogs are eating POO?

Puppies or dogs might be hungry and end up eating their poo. The food you are feeding them does not contain sufficient nutrients to support them this make them feel hungry and end up eating poo. Try switching your dog diet to premium food type might be helping in this case and also enhance dog health.

Eating poo will be a housekeeping method for your dog. If your dogs are close in the crate or kennel, when they poo it will mess up their area. So they might eat the poo in order to clean it. One of your dog housekeeping solutions!

The physical appearance of the poo is interesting and nice to them so they are trying to have it. The taste of the poo is nice to dogs are the poo is warm and moisture. It is attractive to your dog!

Your dog might be eating the poo in order to cover up the mistake that had been done. To cover or close up the mistakes they did. Dog understand that if he I LOVE DOGS!I LOVE DOGS!I LOVE DOGS!I LOVE DOGS! at the living room, he will get scold by his owners, so if he eats up what he I LOVE DOGS!I LOVE DOGS!I LOVE DOGS!I LOVE DOGS! then he will not get scold by owners. So eating poo to cover the mistake they did!

Dog that feel neglected, stress, worry, anxious, lonely will end up eating their own poo too. When dog feel miserable they will do odd things to grab his owner attention. So, eating poo is the common things!

Smart dog always follow what his master did! Whenever he saw his master clean up his poo, he is doing the same as his master eating up his poo. He is actually imitating your action!

Some dogs eating poo because of habits. Habits or behavior that develops when they are young or they might be learning from their peers.

Eating poo will affect your dog health? Poo contain some minerals that do not exist in dog foods, so eating poo will be helping in your dog health. But, in the opposite way, there are parasites and worms that exist in poo which will absorb the entire nutrient that had been eaten by your dog.

this behavior should be corrected... eating feces can be bad to your pet's health.
