Does Your Dog Eat Poop?

My dog does this too! I am glad to see this thread, because I thought my dog was the only one. I never really thought of the fact that they could be doing this to protect themselves from predators. It makes sense that they aren't getting enough nutrients and enzymes that their body needs and that could be why they do this. It is really gross nonetheless. I normally stop the process if I am out there watching my dog, but I cannot be out there constantly, so I'm sure she sneaks a few piles of poop anyways.
