Reasons for Labrador eating poop:

1. Maternal instinct. Dog mothers who have just given birth to puppies have the habit of eating puppy daddy. The main reason is that the puppies cannot excrete yet, so they can only rely on the mother dog to lick their buttocks to stimulate them, and it is also the mother dog who helps the puppies clean their bodies.

2. Destroy evidence. When some dogs are trained to urinate at fixed points, the owner's punishment makes them remember it deeply and develop a fear of being punished by the owner, so they destroy the "evidence" themselves.

3. There are worms in the dog’s body. If there are parasites in the dog's body, the dog will eat the poop as food. Therefore, pet owners should regularly deworm dogs.

4. Dogs lack trace elements. Lack of trace elements will cause the dog's body to be undernourished, and it will obtain nutrients by eating grass, soil, and poop. Owners can replenish elements to their dogs regularly.

5. Imitate behavior. The owner often cleans the place where the dog lives. Over time, the dog will also clean up the urine and feces near where it lives, or if he sees other dogs eating poop, he will also learn to eat it. This is imitation behavior.

6. Too hungry. Dogs will eat feces when they are very hungry and have no food source, because canines are basically scavengers.
