Question

Hello my yorkshire terrier seems to be eating her poo lately, is this harmful to her?

Answer

This is not harmful, however it is a nasty habit which should be broken now.

This is very common amongst puppies and if the habit is not stopped she might go on to do the same when she is an adult.

You might want to check with a vet if she is getting all the nutrients she needs just to make sure it is a nasty habit and that she's not doing it because she needs something else.

There are various deterrants for dogs you can try if she doesn't stop.

My yorkie did that too, I watched her carefully and removed her feces right away and told her no if i caught her with it. Within a couple of weeks she quit doing it.
