Why do dogs like to eat shit?

There are many reasons why dogs like to eat poop, such as poor digestion, internal parasites, diabetes, thyroid disease, nature, imitation, hunger, etc. If your dog often eats poop, it is best to take it to the hospital for examination. Under normal circumstances, it may be due to nature that dogs occasionally eat poop. At this time, the owner can immediately reprimand the dog so that the dog will not eat it next time. If your dog often eats feces, it may be due to a physical problem. You can send it to the hospital for examination to see if there are other diseases.
