💩Poop-eating (coprophagia) isn’t always just a behavioral issue…it might be linked to your dog’s digestive system and microbiome. 🦠
Recent studies show that dogs who eat stool may have differences in how they digest certain nutrients, particularly carbohydrates, and may be trying to compensate for enzyme deficiencies or imbalances in their gut bacteria. In some cases, p**p contains undigested nutrients or beneficial microbial compounds that a dog’s body is lacking.
Today at 12pm EST on Inside Scoop, we’re joined by Dr. Holly Ganz and Carlton Osborne from AnimalBiome, leading experts in canine gut health, to unpack:
🔬 The specific bacteria essential for your dog’s health (and why most probiotics miss them)
💩 What p**p eating could be trying to tell you
🌿 How environmental changes, diet, and even your stress level could be affecting your dog’s skin, gut, and immune system
🧫 F***l Microbiota Transplants (FMTs) and novel probiotics: science-backed approaches that may help restore balance
🐾 And key insights from a fascinating new study on the rise of allergies in both dogs and humans
