I believe that most poop collectors who have dogs at home have seen dogs eating poop. How can dogs eat poop when they are so cute? Today I will tell you why dogs like to eat poop.

1. Nature

Dogs like to eat poop, which may be caused by nature, because the smell in poop often reveals the dog's location, which in turn attracts danger, so dogs will eat their own poop to cover up the information.

2. Diseases

Dogs eating poop may be caused by trace element deficiency, pancreatic insufficiency, intestinal malabsorption and gastrointestinal parasites. In response to this situation, the dog needs to be supplemented with trace elements in time. It is generally recommended to feed the dog health products that are rich in trace elements.

3. Fear

If the dog has been scolded by the owner for pooping everywhere, it will easily eat poop.

To sum up, if it is found that the dog has the habit of eating feces, the owner must find out the reason and then "prescribe the right medicine" to help the dog improve this bad habit!
