Question
i have 7 siberian huskies ages from 3-7yrs old. 2 of them are eating there
own poops and how I can treat it and stop them from doing this. can you explan to me what causes this. i feed them
diamond maintance dog food.  

Answer
Dogs eat their own stools primarily because the food is not properly being digested.  There is a product called FOR-BID that is available that imparts a horrible taste to the feces. You wil have to put it in all of the dogs' food for about a week to break the habit.

I would also recommend using a highly digestible diet like ProPlan, Iams, Eukanuba, or Science Diet to insure that your dogs are getting the maximum digestibility from their diet.
