Re: dog eating poop

make sure that you correct this kind of behavior since feces contains things that can be harmful for your dog's health.

Not really they don't, especially if it is a dog that lives with the 'eating' dog. The chances of picking up worms/disease from outside dog poo is also extremely small, and if dog is wormed/vaccinated/immune, then it's unlikely to matter much.

Dogs eating poo is a habit that is disgusting to us, but totally normal and natural to them. In the wild they would gain valuble nutrients from it, and probably do in a domsticated environment. My pups both do it in the garden (not while out) but I am pretty sure they'll grow out of it, all my others have.
