The first thing that happens when xenophagia occurs is that there is an abnormality in the organism or in the behaviour of the animal. Then the owner should choose a dog food that is nutritious and will meet the needs of the dog’s growth. When a dog is found to be eating faeces or foreign objects, it is important to educate the dog immediately so that it is aware of the consequences of this behaviour. Regular feeding of trace element tablets to replenish the trace elements in the dog’s body should be done when xenophagia is detected.
