So I started googleing around and found a little info on the P.E.A. Poop Eaters Anonymous!!! I was so excited when I found that my dogs aren’t the only ones that do this. Here a few theories as to why they do this:

  • With foods higher in nutrients, dogs actually will eliminate some food that is still “usable”. (I really don’t think this is so)
  • Dogs are looking for vitamins, minerals & nutrients that they may be lacking. (again, with all the high quality food being produced, I doubt it)
  • I do know that baby horses (foals) NEED to eat their mother’s stool to get the right bacteria into their gastrointestinal tract. Perhaps there is some truth here for dogs…

Sooooo why do they really do this??? I ‘m not really sure, but I DO know that too much of a good thing can make you sick.
