My Cocker Spaniels Have A Disgusting Habit
by M Carol
We clean up their mess as soon as possible, but they actually try to eat it as my other dog's are pooing! They are fed excellent food from the vets. Why do they do this and how can I stop this discusting habit? Reply from Pauline (Web Owner) Your puppies are indulging in a little coprophagia - this is the official term for 'dogs eating poop'. I agree, it's quite disgusting, but it is fairly common, especially in puppies. You can learn more about coprophagia here. To answer your quetion, 'Why do dogs eat poop?' why dogs eat poop, would take too long here so I'll list a link to a page that will answer all of your questions. Your puppies should eventually grow out of this anti-social habit, but there are many things you can do to help stop it, simply follow the link to learn how to stop your puppy eating poop. I hope this helps - good luck! Cocker Spaniel Questions And Answers Return to About Cocker Spaniels - Homepage
