If your dog has developed the unfortunate habit of eating poop (coprophagia), it’s not only unpleasant but also a sign that something in their diet might be off. At Dog Krazy, we offer products like NaturVet Coprophagia Tablets to help solve this issue, but we also believe in addressing the root of the problem: your dog’s diet. 

Why Do Dogs Eat Poop?

Dogs may turn to eating poop for several reasons—often because their diet lacks the nutrients they need, or they aren’t digesting their food properly. Many dog foods, especially highly processed kibble, can be difficult for their bodies to break down, leading to nutrient deficiencies. The good news? There’s a way to tackle this behavior by simply focusing on what you feed your dog. 

The Power of Probiotics and Fiber

One of the key ingredients in products like NaturVet Coprophagia Tablets is Probiotics. Probiotics help improve your dog’s digestion and gut health, making sure they’re absorbing the nutrients from their food effectively. Adding probiotics to your dog's diet can naturally prevent the need for them to seek out other sources of nutrition—like their own stool. 

Fiber is another important element. It aids in digestion and ensures their meals move through their system smoothly, reducing the likelihood of incomplete digestion that could lead to coprophagia. 

A Healthier Diet: A Natural Way to Stop Poop Eating

While you can always pick up NaturVet Coprophagia Tablets at Dog Krazy, you can also opt for a simpler and more natural route—focusing on a healthier, less-processed diet. Here are a few ways you can do that: 

  1. Move Away From Kibble Highly processed kibble can be difficult for dogs to digest. By switching to fresh or less-processed food options, your dog can get the nutrients their body craves, which may naturally reduce their need to eat poop. Add some fresh, whole foods like lean meats and vegetables to their diet, or choose a higher-quality, minimally processed pet food from our store like dehydrated, freeze dried or raw. 

  2. Incorporate Probiotics Probiotics are a fantastic addition to your dog’s diet, whether you’re using them through supplements or choosing foods rich in natural probiotics. These good bacteria support digestion, making sure your dog’s body absorbs nutrients effectively. We carry a variety of probiotic options at Dog Krazy to support healthy gut function. 

  3. Add Fiber to Their Diet Ensuring your dog has plenty of fiber in their diet helps keep their digestive system running smoothly. Fiber-rich foods, like pumpkin or sweet potatoes, can aid digestion and help prevent stool-eating habits. These options are not only healthy but easy to add to your dog’s meals. 

  4. Add Fresh Foods Adding fresh, whole foods to your dog's meals is a great way to improve their overall health and digestion. Foods like fresh vegetables, lean proteins, and moisture-rich options like goat’s milk or bone broth can help balance their diet and make it easier for their body to break down what they eat.
