It may be just a dog thing, but, that doesn't mean it's healthy. I'm interested to see other's opinions on this. Have you done any research on why dogs eat feces? I'll probably look it up, too. But, I've never personally owned a dog that ate poo of any kind. I dunno. I'm not grossed out by it or anything, but, I don't know that it's the healthiest thing for them to eat.
