One of the most disgusting behaviors shown by dogs is eating their own poop or the poop of other dogs or pets (also known as coprophagia). Based on observation, eating poop is a behavior being done by at least 25 percent of dogs, and for some of these dogs, this is actually a serious problem in itself.
Some people, as well as experts, think that eating poop is a form of survival mechanism in dogs. Dogs eat their poop so they can acquire nutrients that are lacking in their everyday meals. It's also possible that the poop contains certain enzymes that can aid in the dog's digestion of the meals that they consume on a daily basis. Have you seen any dog that has eaten rabbit poop? Rabbit poop is said to be filled with enzymes and other nutrients. Eating poop or coprophagia might also have been inherited by pups from their mothers.
It is also a good idea to make an appointment with your vet clinic Tampa, FL to make sure that your pet’s behavior is not caused by underlying health issues.
