Why would my puppy eat this unusual food?

You must be feeding him some good dog food if it still tastes good the second time through.

Dear Stick Out, the other answers are correct. They all do it. The way to break them of this bad habit is when you walk them carry a paper towel and a plastic bag and pick it right up--then wash your hands! Maybe give them a dog treat right away to convince them there is other food and maybe let them think it's a reward. Did you ever notice that most dog food looks like crap. They have to learn the difference. Jack

When my scottish terrier was a puppy he would run out into the alley and into other peoples yards every chance he could get to eat all the poo he could find... It was like candy to him and I could always tell when he had gotten into any because his mouth would smell like sh!t for days... It took forever to break him of it and I still think that if I did not tell him no every time we run into any on walks or anything he still would do it.

I cannot tell you why they do it, but I can tell you that its pretty common

especially when they are puppies

no need to worry,,,

this is common,, dogs do this,,,,but we should not encourage that,,like

we a suppose to have a watch especialy on outside times,,at the puppy stage,,then by days it will get back to normal,,and try to give the food which puppy like to have for some days and practice..u will def find a gud result

bye then

waiting for next ques my friend

Just make sure to give the pup a Puppy Breath Mint.

It is very common for puppies to eat their poop. Most grow out of it. The best thing to do is just keep the yard cleaned up.

Sounds like a deficiency to me. You might to check with a vet for sure. Hopefully its nothing serious.

It is common for your puppie to eat their own poop as he grows old.

Just pick up after he does his business

Keep the Poo Cleaned up.

They all do this at some point. Take away the temptation.

there is nothing wrong with that.... a lot of puppies do that, they experience new things
