should i try to stop my dogs habit of eating poop? i dont really see any harm in it.. he eats his own, the cats, and a few times even ours right out of the toilet... he seems to like it more than the world.. is it bad for him?

your dog eating faeces? may be it is copying what his master does. Also, check your spelling. it is not 'feces' but 'faeces'. why can't a person from a 'developed country ' like your's learn spelling?

Don't worry! Its natural.They eat thier poop because theres proteins in it 4rm the food they eat (if they're are eating dog food)Elephants do it 2---if u noticed.....if u wanna keep kissing ur dog---I'd advise u 2 go 2 PetsSmart or Pet-co and get some dog toothpaste.

It's normal But not good for the dog. They can get parasites that way. Worms and things like that.

yes. it is a very bad habit. if not stopped it can harm him later. please stop your dog now. scold him and if he doesnt listen just give him a tight slap on his hind thigh and he will gradually understand that what he is doing is wrong.

You can get this stuff that you put on his food that turns him away from his feces.
