WHY ?
Yes, it seems disgusting....
A pup will eat poop for a number of reasons:
We do have products that may remedy this.
If the problem persists, ask your veterinarian about a remedy for this habit. What veterinarians do know is that it is normal behavior for a wide variety of species - even if humans are revolted by the very idea.
A pup will eat poop for a number of reasons:
- He thinks it smells and tastes good. (Dogs are notoriously poor arbiters of taste.)
- He's hungry.
- He may be missing key nutrients in his diet or suffer malabsorption.
- He likes to keep his territory or bedding clean.
- He has fun playing with it. (This is especially true for dogs that are mouthy.)
- He's bored.
- He knows that removing the evidence means no punishment for inappropriate elimination.
- He knows that fewer predators will give him grief if there is no physical evidence of his having been around.

More Single Americans Opting to Own Pets, Study Discovers
Posted: March 22, 2013, 4:30 p.m.
EDT
While families make up the majority of U.S. pet owners, the ownership gap
between them and single adults has significantly narrowed over the last five
years, the American Veterinary Medical Association reported.
The number of single adults with pets grew by 16.6 percent, from 46.9 percent to 54.7 percent, from 2006 to 2011, the AVMA stated. During the same period, families with pets grew by just 1.37 percent, from 65.5 percent to 66.4 percent.
The findings, reported March 14, were based on data contained in the AVMA's 2012 U.S. Pet Ownership & Demographics Sourcebook. The resource was released in December, but the Schaumburg, Ill.-based AVMA continues to report specific findings.
Other trends documented
in the Sourcebook
include:
• Pet ownership among divorced, widowed and separated adults grew by 17.7 percent, from 51.3 to 60.4 percent.
• The number of single men living alone with pets increased by 27.7 percent, from 34.3 to 43.8 percent.
• The number of single women living alone with pets increased by 22 percent, from 46.8 to 57.1 percent.
“It's interesting to see that more and more single people are discovering the comfort and satisfaction that owning a pet can offer,” said Dr. Douglas Aspros, DVM, president of the AVMA.
The study indicated that single pet owners are more likely to view pets as family members, while families more often relegate pets to companion or property status.
Dr. Aspros addressed the impressive growth of pet ownership among single men.
“For now, it's true that more single women own pets than single men, but this survey shows us that this may be changing,” he said. “By studying these demographic trends better, the AVMA wants to help veterinarians to better serve our clients and keep pets healthy.”
As for less-encouraging news: Veterinarian visitation showed signs of waning.
One in four pet-owning households did not visit a veterinarian in 2011, a nearly 7 percent increase over 2006.
“Veterinarians can use this information to reach out to these growing segments of our clientele to help reverse this trend of decreasing veterinary care for our pets,” Aspros stated.
“Families, no matter what size, need to bring their pets into a veterinarian at least once a year to maintain optimal health.”
