🐶 Is Your Dog Eating Dirt? Here’s What It Could Mean… 🐾
It might look like strange (or just dirty!) behavior, but if your dog is eating dirt, it could be a sign of a nutritional deficiency or other underlying issue.
This behavior is known as pica, and it can be caused by:
👉 A lack of essential nutrients (like iron or zinc)
👉 Digestive discomfort
👉 Parasites
👉 Anemia
👉 Boredom, stress, or anxiety
