So my Australian Shepherd is fantastic in every aspect other than the fact he eats poop!  He doesn't eat his own, but he'll eat my other dog's poop literally before it hits the ground, and will eat poop off the ground at the dog park.  Other than being gross, I know this poses a real risk to him for getting sick and getting worms and other parasites.  He eats a fairly premium dog food (Canidae) and I give him raw bones to chew on about once a week.  My other dog is on the same diet and has no poop eating issues.  Is there anything I can do?  Should I take him to the vet to see if there's some health problem causing this?
