I have a young pup who has a bad habit of eating his own poop...?

This is a gross habit that some dogs seem to enjoy. I always make sure these dogs never lick my face.

There may be a couple of reasons for this. I would probably recommend talking with your vet but you could consider these things:

• Give the dog a good daily vitamin.
• Make sure he is getting enough good quality food. Grocery store food is not adequate.
• The vets sell products to sprinkle on dog food that is supposed to make the poop unattractive to the dogs (as if its not enough already).

Also, according to the seeing eye dog people if your puppy or dog starts to eat its own poop that usually means that it's not getting enough physical activity. Increase the amount of exercise. Try taking him out for more play and walks.
