People often say that dogs cannot change their eating of feces. I believe that many friends who have raised dogs have had similar experiences. So why do dogs like to eat feces? Today, I will let you know the real reason why dogs like to eat feces...

 The nature of dogs

Today's dogs eat freshly pulled feces because of the nature of their wolf ancestors. There are parasite eggs in the feces. After pulling it out, they will dispose of the feces as soon as possible in order to prevent the parasites from harming themselves. Parasite eggs usually do not hatch into infectious larvae within a few days.

Special habits

Dogs eat poop because they like the special smell of poop. The smell of feces is very attractive to some dogs. If you don’t want your dog to eat poop, it is recommended to clean it up immediately after your dog poops.

Improper Punishment

When a dog's defecation and defecation is inappropriately punished by its owner, it will have a psychological impact on the dog. It is afraid of the owner's punishment, so it can't help but eat the feces after defecation to destroy the evidence for fear of being punished by the owner.

Lack of trace elements

Dogs lack certain nutrients. Some dogs will eat grass, soil and feces that are devoid of trace elements. Therefore, owners must regularly supplement trace element tablets to dogs. This can supplement trace elements to dogs and solve problems such as eating grass and defecating!

Hunger is a strange thing

Generally speaking, dogs eat excrement because when some excrement is not completely digested, the residual food smell in it will make them mistake the feces for food, so they eat the feces.
