My dog is suffering with coprophagia what shall i do? they say they do it from lack of nutrients in their body is this true and why

Have you done a search for "coprophagia"? Loads of previous threads on it..... :)

I would sau that you are suffering from the understandable distate of your dogs habit. It is a perfectly nomal, though offensive to us, thing for a dog to do. It has veryrarely anything to do with lack of nutrints.

In young puppies it often starts as curiosity, and in older animals it is often greed, when they are inclined to put on weight, and are be9ing fed accordingly, they chose to supplement their diet in this way.

It is a foem of recycling, and is more likely with over nutrition, hwere a large amount of nutrients is still present in the feaces, therefore making them attractive.

My oldest spayed bitch will recycle if someone else has been geting any tinned food, or as at the moment her grandaughter is being fed a lot looking after puppies.

The best way to stop it is to cleasr up quickly any waste, though this doesn't he;p away from home.

Poo of other species seems to be a delicacy, and if you have a cat then keep liter trays well out of the dogs reach, and accept any car poo found in the garden will be eaten with gusto.

I spoke to a qualified dog expert today and she stated that it is indeed due to lack of nutrients and also i can be hunger well he is not hungry although you would think i starved him the way he is with food but i bought some differn food added it in and he doesnt do it now :)

Not helpful I know, but amusing.
When my elderly Beardie picked up the habit, I asked my vet if she was lacking something in her diet. "yes" he said "obviously, dog pooh."
Shortly afterwards I changed to a different vet.

It isn't usually a lack of anything it is the fact that in modern foods that are rich there is still a lot of nutritional value (and dare I say it taste) left in the waste so the dog recycles it to get the rest of the goodness out. It is a basic survival tactic, and is most common with puppies (curiosity) and dogs that are greedy, and bitches that have had pups and kept cleaning up after them for ages.

My current bitch is till cleaning up after her 5 week old pups even when they are going outside and have been on solids over two weeks.

I have to check the dog run before she notices!!!
