While a discussion about poop may sound distasteful, it\u2019s worth a conversation if you have a pooch with a penchant for poop.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastsacvet.com\/\">East Sacramento Veterinary Center<\/a>, we\u2019re here to help you get to the bottom of your pet\u2019s strange habits, including what is formally called \u201ccoprophagia\u201d in dogs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Scoop on Coprophagia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your dog eats poop, you aren\u2019t alone. A recent study revealed that as much as 24% of dogs indulge in a taste of poop at least once, and 16% are classified as \u201cserious\u201d consumers of poop. But the big question is\u2026why? In many instances, eating poop is written into a dog\u2019s DNA. Consider the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Wolves will eat fresh stool to help keep their dens clean and prevent the spread of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastsacvet.com\/blog\/consistency-counts-maintaining-flea-and-tick-defense-365-days-a-year\/\">intestinal parasites<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mother dogs will eat puppy poo for about three weeks after giving birth to keep their living area tidy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Puppies will often imitate their mom\u2019s behavior and eat their own poop and even poop from other pets, including cats.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Some dogs are drawn to droppings simply because they think it tastes good!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Concerning Causes of Coprophagia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While some reasons for sampling the local poop are instinctive, some have roots in emotional or medical issues and warrant further investigation, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Isolation<\/strong>: Dogs tucked away in kennels or kept in basements for long stretches are more likely to exhibit coprophagia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastsacvet.com\/blog\/dog-anxiety-what-pet-owners-need-to-know\/\"><strong>Anxiety<\/strong><\/a>: A dog punished during <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastsacvet.com\/blog\/mission-impossible-effective-ways-to-house-train-your-dog\/\">house training<\/a> may eat poop out of fear of being disciplined for soiling indoors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Confinement<\/strong>: It\u2019s not uncommon for dogs that spend a lot of time in small spaces (such as crowded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastsacvet.com\/blog\/holiday-compassion-ways-to-support-local-animal-shelters-and-rescue-pets\/\">animal shelters<\/a>) to display coprophagia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Malnourishment<\/strong>: Dogs that eat a low-quality diet may consume poop because they\u2019re lacking key nutrients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sickness<\/strong>: An adult dog that suddenly exhibits coprophagia might have a disease of the intestinal tract, liver, or brain. If your adult dog\u2019s coprophagia is accompanied by vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy, please call <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastsacvet.com\/staff\/\">your veterinarian<\/a> immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Curbing Coprophagia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your dog\u2019s desire to eat poop is ongoing, consult your veterinarian. Uncovering the cause can direct us toward the most effective strategies for halting this habit. Here are some helpful approaches for curbing coprophagia:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Provide your pooch with plenty of physical and mental stimulation to lessen feelings of isolation and anxiety.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feed your dog a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastsacvet.com\/blog\/mindful-eating-for-pets-creating-nutritious-meal-plans-in-2024\/\">high-quality, nutrient-dense diet<\/a>. A multivitamin designed for dogs can also help.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep your dog\u2019s living space and yard free from poop.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep litter boxes where your dog can\u2019t get to them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not punish your dog for eating poop.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use training cues like \u201cleave it,\u201d and teach your dog to come to you for a tasty treat after they poop.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We Can Help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Please contact us at <a href=\"tel:+1-916-737-5670\">(916) 737-5670<\/a> if you\u2019re perplexed by your pup\u2019s coprophagia. Together, we can figure out why this is happening and create an effective solution.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dogs aren\u2019t known for having discerning taste buds, but of all the unsavory things they put in their mouths, poop takes the cake!
