WHY DOES MY DOG EAT POOP?
As humans, the idea of dining on feces is pretty cringe-worthy. But if you spot your best friend chowing down on some delectable doggy doody, pay attention! That's his way of letting you know that something could be wrong.

Coprophagy is the term used to describe this common behavior most pet parents dread: eating poop. Bunny droppings, cat-box-treasures, and even their own or another dog’s poop – it’s all fair game. What’s WRONG, is most likely your dog’s diet.
In nature our dogs' relative, the wolf, eats ALL of their prey. This includes organs, blood and even bone. This raw diet contains all the enzymes and nutrients the canine body needs to thrive.
Most dogs generally eat a highly processed kibble diet. Their digestive system can create enzymes, but not enough to completely process this type of food. So guess what happens to all those undigested nutrients that don't get absorbed? You guessed it. Poop.
So most times, it comes down to old-fashioned hardwired genetics. While we love and nurture our dogs and keep them safe from anything that may seek to do them harm, this doesn’t change the fact that they are animals that instinctively seek survival.
The canine digestive system is a complicated piece of organic machinery and if dogs feel that they are deficient in certain nutrients, they may eat waste in order to ‘recycle’ those vitamins. If the meals you are feeding your dog are not sufficiently breaking down, your pup may not understand that it’s not just a second helping of dinner. So what can you do to help prevent this?
