why dogs eat poo

There are several reasons why some dogs like to eat their poop. Some dog owners report that their dogs have a habit of eating feces and they don’t know what to do to stop the habit. Actually, this condition is known as Coprophagia, It is a condition where the dog likes to eat his own feces or the feces of other animals. This can be due to certain medical conditions, or for dietary reasons. Your dog can instinctually develop such habits due to insufficient nutritional intake or when giving your dog food that is not suitable for them especially if they have a medical condition. Other reasons why dogs eat poop can include the onset of stress, in dogs that are often chained and are less interactive with other dogs, in the case when dogs are not walked frequent enough and are not allowed to play with other dogs.
