Your dog might be eating poop because of a rare illness called "coprophagia".
There are some medical conditions that may cause coprophagia, such as Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, Pancreatitis, Intestinal infections, and more. Get your dog checked out, just to be sure there is not a health problem that causes this unpleasant habit.
When a dog is fed low-quality or inappropriate dog food, it feels like it should eat more in order to satisfy its body's craving for nutrients.
Dog foods must contain some specific levels of fat, minerals, vitamins and proteins depending on the lifestage of the dog. There are many complete and balanced dog foods in the market:
1. Taste of the wild
2. Rocco & Roxie Liver Treats
3. Diamond Naturals
A yard or kennel where stools pile up might prompt a dog to 'clean up' his poops. Be sure to clean this area every day, and preferably just after the dog eliminates.
Find the stool and pour hot sauce over it, e.g. Habanero sauce. This makes the poop uncomfortable to eat but won't cause any real damage. After a bite or maybe several, your dog will come to the conclusion that it's not worth it.
