I couldn't touch it. I just ran into it when I came home from work-eating at random! Go through garbage cans, eat toilet paper, even eat grass and chew walls! Ask yourself, dogs have not been mistreated at ordinary times, why on earth is this?
The trouble of pica
The owner comes home to find his dog actually eating poop? Or biting wall skins, paper towels, flowers and plants, which may actually be a manifestation of the dog's pica.
1 Causes of Pica
Lack of trace elements
When the dog's body lacks vitamins, minerals, etc., it will have the above performance.
② Caused by intestinal parasites
If accompanied by vomiting, hematochezia, body weight loss, coat rough and dull these symptoms, there may be infected with internal parasites.
③ Dyspepsia
The dog's poop has undigested protein, which the dog will eat as food for secondary absorption.
④ Elimination of evidence
Just imagine, if you do something wrong, will you choose to eliminate the evidence to avoid being scolded? The same is true for dogs, who will be punished by the shoveling officer for dragging their feet at home, so they choose to eat poop in order to avoid punishment.
The dog's curiosity.
Dogs like to explore new things and may find points of interest in the process of sniffing and eating these things.

① regular deworming for dogs to reduce nutrient loss.
The smell of the trash can make it "intoxicated"
This is a problem that many shoveling officials will encounter. When they go home, they find that the garbage can has been turned over, which makes the home a mess, and their good mood disappears instantly. So what should I do?
Why did you reach out to the trash can?
The dog's instinct.
The dog's sense of smell is very strong, and the smell of the trash can will stimulate TA's sense of smell, thus causing strong interest.
The dog is boring.
Because I can't find anything to do, I can only focus on finding something. It can also be said that because of the lack of attention, TA may be trained after turning over the garbage can, so TA will mistakenly think that it will attract the attention of the shoveling officer.
2 Stop! A few moves to "protect" the trash can
① Timely stop
When this happens to the dog, the owner must immediately stop it and let TA know that this kind of behavior is not allowed. If it stops, the shoveling officer can give a reward.
② Shovel officials accompany a lot
Dogs turn over garbage cans mostly because of boredom, so the shoveling officer should play with TA more to make him feel that he is being paid attention. You can also put some toys at home to pass the boring time.
③ Isolation with odor
Dogs can be sprayed around the trash, such as prohibited areas.
A "fed" dog?
It is well known that dogs like to steal food. They have a keen sense of smell and have been able to do so before the shoveling officer finds out. Therefore, they must be stopped in time and cannot form this bad habit.

① Curiosity from food
Dogs have a particularly strong curiosity. They want to "try poison with their bodies" for anything they eat. If they are caught, they may think: they should enjoy delicious food!
It comes from instinct.
This needs to start with the ancestors of dogs. Life in the wild is very hard. In order not to starve, they also like to steal and hide food after eating. So the dog's instinct to steal has continued to this day.
③ Not really fed.
Shovel officials don't blame TA when they see dogs stealing food, or do they reflect on whether they are feeding properly? Because dogs stealing food may be really hungry!
2 Take precautions against eating dogs.
① All-round prevention
● Don't give the dog the chance to steal his mouth. The kitchen door should be closed and the meat food must be put away!
② Necessary snacks
Feed snacks when needed to let the dog know that they have their own snacks, which can distract them from other foods.
Do not feed human food.
Let the dog know that he can't eat what people eat, even if there is food on the table, he can't share it. It is also important to avoid inadvertently feeding TA. If the shoveling officer softens and feeds TA when he comes to eat, then you will be in trouble!
