Coprophagia is more commonly observed in puppies as they explore the world and develop their eating habits. As dogs mature, they typically outgrow this behavior. In some cases, adult dogs may also exhibit coprophagia due to various reasons, such as nutritional deficiencies or behavioral issues. Effective training and management strategies can help deter and reduce coprophagia in dogs. Consistent positive reinforcement, redirecting the dog's attention to more appropriate behaviors, and preventing access to feces can aid in resolving the issue faster. Some medical conditions, such as malabsorption issues or enzyme deficiencies, can contribute to coprophagia in dogs. Addressing these underlying health concerns with veterinary guidance and appropriate treatment can help resolve the behavior. Dogs living in environments where they have easy access to feces, such as multi-dog households or kennels, may be more prone to engaging in coprophagia. By controlling the dog's environment and limiting access to feces, the behavior can be curtailed.
