What to do if your puppy eats its own poop

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.
