Question
What causes my German Shepherd to eat his feces, we pick up his poop and he finds it and eats it and then gets sick, we give him vitamins and enconumba dog food.

Thanks

Answer
Hi,

Most dogs find their own and other dogs poop interesting.  He is not lacking anything in his diet.   This is just a bad habit (we consider it bad, not him!!) that he will probably grow out of.   Pick it up as soon as possible so he doesn't eat it and then vomit.    You are feeding a good food.
