What to do if your Alaska eats poop

Your Alaska eating poop could be due to poor digestion, behavioral issues, or deficiency of trace elements. First, you can supplement your dog with pet-specific trace elements according to its weight. If this doesn't change the behavior, you can discipline your dog to a certain extent, letting it know that this behavior is wrong. When taking this dog out for a walk, it's necessary to wear a muzzle to avoid picking up foreign objects.

Reasons why dogs eat poop

  1. There are many reasons why dogs eat poop. It could be due to poor digestion, where the food isn't fully digested and absorbed, and the stool has a high protein content. Dogs have a keen sense of smell, and they can smell the protein in the stool, prompting them to eat it. 2. Dogs may eat poop due to lack of trace elements and no viable ways to supplement them. It could also be a behavioral issue, such as the dog being disciplined by its owner when they find poop in the house. To avoid getting scolded, the dog might eat the poop.

How to correct dog poop eating

You can feed your dog a diet containing selectively unprocessed proteins, along with probiotics and digestive enzymes to regulate its intestines and supplement trace elements. Try to clean up the poop as soon as your dog finishes defecating, prepare plenty of toys to stimulate its brain and alleviate boredom. Take your dog for more exercise, walks, and sunlight. Dogs often resort to eating feces when they're bored and confined to small spaces due to a lack of physical activity and mental stimulation.
