If there is enough undigested protein left in it, they likely mistake it for edible material. Avoid letting a dog eat this material because it could lead to dehydration.
Additional thoughts:
- Your dog probably eats its poop because its stomach hurts. If you see him/her eating his poop, walk your dog for a while and only let him/her drink water.
- Another guess that your dog is eating its poop is that he/she ate something and the remains of it are still in its poop and he/she likes how it tastes.
- Another reason that your dog would eat it's own poop is because there is fiber in the poop from their food. These are only guesses and if your dog keeps on eating its poop, then ask a vet on your next check up.
- Malnutrition or a behavior in which they want to cover their traces. Poo attracts other animals to their homes as well.
