Dogs eat poop for a few reasons

1) Diet- If the body isn't getting enough from the food so "we eat again". Change the food to high quality food or a vitamin supplement (make sure theres no corn, wheat, soy, by-products)

2) We did it in the past survive if you live on the streets you will eat anything to make it

3) We saw mamma dog do it, so we think its right

4) Keep it clean we don't like the mess so we "Clean it"

5) We're bored

 

 

Ways to Solve it

Pick it up as soon as it happens

Add Crushed Pineapples to the diet for a few weeks

Thanks for this. We got a new pem puppy in October (Samwise) and he seems to have fallen into the same bad habit as Roxy when it comes to being a poop connoisseur. He'll literally eliminate and then immediately turn around to eat it. This seems like it would work. It's sort of what we did with Roxy.

 

I never could figure out why corgis are so prone to this behavior. It can't be the mineral deficiency Caesar mentioned, since I feed them a high quality dog food. Maybe it's psychological?

Because they were on the road in a small rv trailer, the camera crew was in front of the dog and cesar was behind the dog, limiting her to under the table :)

Why does the dog go hide under the table?
