Not all dogs eat feces. Dogs will not eat their own feces if they are healthy and not lacking in nutrients. If your dog eats shit, you should stop it face to face and let him understand that eating shit is wrong.

Why do dogs eat their own feces?

1. Fear of punishment: When training dogs to urinate and defecate at fixed points, some owners are prone to getting angry, causing the dog to mistakenly I thought my owner was angry because I pooped at home. So in order to avoid punishment from the master, he took the initiative to eat shit.

2. Negative psychological factors: When a dog is under great pressure, he may eat some strange things to vent his negative emotions and get satisfaction. It may also be that the dog eats feces on purpose. Revenge against the master.

3. Poor gastrointestinal digestion: If a dog’s gastrointestinal digestion and absorption is not good, a large amount of nutrients will remain in its feces and emit a “food” smell, which will make the dog think it can still be eaten.

4. Malnutrition: If a dog is malnourished, it will also cause pica, causing it to eat grass, poop, mud, sawdust and other pica behaviors.

5. Too hungry: Dogs may eat their own poop when they are very hungry and cannot find food. After all, dogs are also scavengers.
