Puppies eating their own feces may be due to mineral vitamin deficiencies or xenophagia. Most dogs will improve with vitamin and mineral supplementation, but there is still a tendency for about 20% of dogs to not improve, and for such dogs, training is usually the way to go. Nowadays, dog food is commonly supplemented with food attractants, which leads to feces often containing a certain fragrance, which is one of the reasons why dogs mistake feces for food.
