They are very harmful to the dogs, and it stays with them forever.

We have a small Theodore Roosevelt rat terrier that was rescued from an appalling puppy mill down South somewhere. My daughter has had him since he was 8 months old. He’s 14 yrs old now.

He was in a cage with no food or water, other cages stacked on top of him, poop and urine raining down on him. He began to eat poop.

To this day, he still likes to eat poop. We keep the yard poop free, meticulously.
