Poop Eating – A Sign Of Something More Serious

“Why does my dog eat poop?” is one of the most common questions I get as a veterinarian.  This is mostly because dog guardians are absolutely disgusted by this behavior. And I get it, it’s gross. Especially when your dog licks your face and the image of your dog eating poo pops in your mind… yuck! Poop-eating, also known as coprophagia, is very common in dogs and there are several reasons that your dog may be doing it.
