Reasons why dogs eat poop:

Animal Nature:

Newborns cannot defecate on their own and must rely on their mother's licking to stimulate defecation. In addition to keeping the environment clean, this can also prevent smells from leaking out and attracting prey from other animals. Therefore, when some dogs feel threatened, they often eat their own feces to increase their sense of security.

Physiological response:

Some owners think that by controlling their dog’s food intake, they can maintain their dog’s size. However, they do not know that size is determined by genetics, and eating too little will only cause nutritional deficiencies. There is a problem with the digestive function of the dog's intestines, and the feces contains nutrients that have not been fully digested and absorbed, which is very attractive to dogs.

The feces of some herbivores even contain vitamins and trace elements that dogs lack. Some dogs will absorb nutrients by swallowing their feces.

Behavioral response:

Owners often exclaim when they find their dog eating poop, which gives the dog a "feeling of attention". Some dogs will choose this method in order to get attention;

Solution:
