Product Information

Coprophagia is the scientific term for a dog eating poop. Yes, there’s actually a name for it. Two names, in fact. Your dog may experience autocoprophagia, which involves eating its own poop, or allocoprophagia, which involves them eating another dog’s poop. Some dogs also begin eating poop as an adult as a response to an environmental or behavioural issue. For example, they might be nervous or stressed out. Here are some common environmental problems that can contribute to dodgy dining: Coprophagia is most common in multi-dog households. Female dogs are more inclined to eat faeces than male dogs, especially intact males. Dogs that are known to be greedy (stealing food off of tables, for instance) are more prone to experience coprophagia, too.
