What should I do if a puppy eats his own poop? This is a very difficult question. First, you should make sure that your puppies have enough water and healthy food every day. If you find that your puppy is still eating your own poop, you should consult a veterinarian to rule out the disease that your puppy may have and determine if it is necessary to change the puppy’s diet.

The reason why do puppies eat their own poop?

1. There is a problem with the dog's stomach and intestine absorption. Eating poop is to supplement the body's nutrition.

2. Dogs cannot eat enough food, so they can only eat feces to replenish energy.

3. The dog lacks trace elements in its body and has pica.

4. The puppy didn't learn well with the big dog. When he saw the big dog eating, he ate it himself.

5. Fear of punishment from the owner. When training the dog to urinate and defecate, some poop shovelers are prone to get angry, making the dog mistakenly think that it makes the owner angry when he poops at home. So in order to avoid punishment from the owner, I took the initiative to eat shit and eliminate the evidence.

6. Negative psychological factors. When the dog is under great pressure and is about to be unable to bear it, it may awaken its pica and eat some strange things to vent negative emotions and be satisfied. It may also be that the dog deliberately eats shit to take revenge on its owner.

What to do?

1. Cut off the opportunity for the dog to eat stool. After the dog has finished bowel movements, clean it up immediately.

2. Dogs should immediately stop them when they eat stool.

3. Add a taste that your dog doesn't like in the feces, such as adding spicy chili peppers, bitter medicines or taste that your dog doesn't like.

4. Block with commands, this is useful only if there is a dog that has been trained in obedience.

5. Supplement trace elements to dogs.

6. The owner should be kinder towards the dog. He should not always lose his temper with it. He should accompany it to play more and reward it with snacks appropriately to keep it in a positive and happy mood.

7. Give your dog less and more meals to reduce the burden on the stomach and intestines to help digestion, or feed some probiotics to help digestion.

8. Pay attention to choosing a balanced diet and balanced nutrition with meat and vegetables.

9. Feed the dog regularly and regularly to prevent the dog from being hungry for too long. You can also put some dog food in your dog's bowl before going out to prevent you from getting hungry at a dog's stomach when you go home late. If the dog eats a lot, it is also recommended to choose dog food to feed it with high meat content, which can better meet the dog's needs for fullness, good food and nutrition.
