Why do dogs eat poop?

There are many reasons why dogs eat poop. First of all, it may be instinct. After all, dogs cannot change their eating poop. Secondly, it may be that they are eating poop because they are not full. Finally, it may be that the dog's lack of trace elements leads to pica. In this case, the dog will not only eat feces but also eat strange things such as wall dust, stones, etc.

Tip;

We need to replenish trace elements in time for dogs with pica. If it is delayed for a long time, it will cause serious harm to the dog's body.
