• calliecritturs Posted : 10/9/2012 9:40:56 AM This is not at all uncommon -- in fact, it is SO common it has a name:  coprophagia. Nothing is foolproof to stop it.  Your vet may have an additive to put in their food to help discourage it -- but nothing tends to be super successful.  Being vigilant to scoop as soon as they go tends to be the only foolproof method. It is something that is SO horrifying to we humans, and the dogs just sort of see it as "leftovers" and they're attracted to the protein left in the poop after it is digested. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

I've only seen young puppies eat their own poop, but what do I know. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
