Expert Answer

A puppy eating dog poop usually causes the following problems. First, dog poop contains large amounts of bacteria and pathogens such as parasites, bacteria, and viruses; if a puppy eats it, it may contract various diseases and show diarrhea, vomiting, and loss of appetite.

Second, the bacteria and pathogens in the poop can also spread to other dogs or humans, leading to disease transmission. If a puppy likes eating poop, owners should stop the behavior promptly, and seek veterinary care if the puppy shows abnormal symptoms like diarrhea or vomiting.
