Dogs live differently than humans, even though we live with them under the same roof. Their habits are also different. Now we're paddling into a bit of unsavory terrain.
Perhaps several dog owners have already experienced that their pet did not avoid the feces left on the street while walking, but instead ate it after sniffing it. Other dogs eat cat excrement from the litter tray or eat other species of animal.
This phenomenon is coprophagia, the cause of which can be the lack of various vitamins and nutrients and their replacement, but it can also indicate a health problem, such as pancreatic insufficiency.
However, it can also have a psychological background. This is more typical among animals that end up in shelters.
At the same time, it is quite common for female dogs raising their young to eat the excrement of their puppies in the first days.
