Why does my dog keep eating rabbit poop? Is it normal or safe?

Honestly because it tastes good to her! It's really gross, but some dogs like the taste of feces, including their own. It's not good for them to eat it though, so I would keep Bella away from it as much as possible.

Yes, rabbits are known to be coprophagic, which means they eat their own feces. Below is a link to an article that explains this further. https://www.petcoach.co/article/cecotropes-and-coprophagy/ I hope that helps and all is well with Fluffy.

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I don't think you have much to worry about with the rabbit poop. I would just monitor Steeler's stools and continue to deworm as advised by your veterinarian. Puppies need to be dewormed at least 3-4 times in my opinion. This is done every 3 weeks. Usually, we use pyrantel pamoate for this which kills the roundworms and hookworms that the puppy got in utero and while nursing the mother. Once heartworm prevention is started, most of those contain a dewormer so that can count as a regular deworming for puppies also. Eating grass and leaves is another thing that puppies and dogs like to do. Usually, this doesn't cause a problem. Sometimes they vomit sometimes they don't. What would concern me is if the lawn has been treated with any chemicals. I would advise no chemical use on the lawn where the puppy has access to. This mainly concerns the use of weed killers that many people use on their lawns. Leaves may upset their stomach but again I would be careful since some plant leaves can be toxic to pets. Research what is in your yard and make changes if you have to. Good luck

Many puppies eat the poop of other animals when they get a chance - it's a gross habit, but very normal for dogs. In most cases, it won't cause any serious problems but you should be cautious if the pigs have been dewormed recently as many livestock dewormers are toxic to dogs and may still be present in the feces. I would recommend teaching your dog a reliable "leave it!" command using rewards (a trainer in your area should be able to help with this), and keeping him on-leash in any areas where pig feces are present in the meantime so that you can prevent him from having access to them.

Apparently something that the cows eat smells good to your dog and therefore Tofy eats it. It is not usually a problem if dogs eat cow poop, but sometimes there could be detrimental bacteria in the poop which could make your dog sick. So it would be better not to let her eat the cow poop.

Dogs will often do coprophagia (eating poop) and other than it being gross, it is not really that big of deal and it does not necessarily mean there is something wrong. It could mean there is an issue, of course, but not necessarily. There is some speculation that this could be due to a nutritional deficiency but there is so scientific evidence to back it up. There is also speculation that it could be due to internal parasites. My suggestion would be to have her to your vet so they can do a fecal test to rule out parasites and deworm her if needed. I would also put Dora on a multivitamin made for dogs. Here is a link to an article about this issue in dogs.

This is a common problem in dogs, and it is gross but not abnormal. There are a few things you can do to stop this behavior, like feeding a supplement that sometimes makes the stool taste bitter (see a link below). The best prevention would be to keep the feces picked up so that Kala doesn't get the opportunity to eat them. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/naturvet-coprophagia-stool-eating-deterrent-dog-chews Here is some more information on coprophagia: http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=1613
