Yes, flies do lay eggs in dog feces. Common species, such as house flies, are attracted to decaying organic matter, including animal waste, as it provides a suitable environment for their larvae to develop. The eggs hatch into larvae, or maggots, which feed on the feces. This process can contribute to the spread of bacteria and parasites, making it important to clean up pet waste promptly.
