There are six reasons why dogs eat poop , and unless you can identify which one is driving your dog's habit stopping them will be a challenge!

1⃣Firstly, young dogs often mimic their mothers by eating poop to maintain a clean nest—yes, it's a learned behavior!
2⃣Hunger and 3⃣nutritional deficiency can also contribute to this habit, the latter is known as pica.
4⃣Medical issues, such as pancreatic dysfunction or intestinal disease, may make stool more appealing to dogs.
5⃣Anxiety and 6⃣boredom can also play significant roles and are more common than you may think!

Understanding the psychological and physical factors that drive this behavior is crucial for promoting a healthy and happy lifestyle for our beloved pets. After all, poop eating can potentially be a sign that a much more serious issue is lurking under the surface
