Dog Eating Feces Part 6

Is your dog eating its own feces?

Reading some of the articles in some of the magazines this is quite a common problem. Some owners find it quite unacceptable but we are told by the experts that it is a perfectly normal behavior, dogs are scavengers, part of the natural “clean-up” system, disposing of accumulated outside human habitations.

It appears that sometimes that food passed through its body without being fully absorbed and may smell very similar to the dinner that it ate a little while ago! Apparently is more likely to happen if the food is full of additive such as coloring and flavorings. Taste deterrents may be the answer!
