Is it normal my bitch eats her own poop and also my other dog's poop?

My bitch is a four years old beagle. She eats her own poop whenever she can. She'll eat my other dog's poop also if she can. Every day I have to race her for the poop. She'll eat it straight from the other dog's anus, as it is coming out. It doesn't matter what it looks like, hard or soft like a slurpy, she'll still eat if I don't intervene. However, she won't eat it if it is old, especially now in the winter. So if it is dry and cold, she won't eat it. My bitch has a potty mouth! IIN?

    Not sure but maybe it's malnourished (even if not underweight, it can lack specific nutrients) and you need to give it better food. I've had many dogs (in cooperation with my parents) and never seen one do that. Doesnt sound normal. I also imagine there would be some risk of disease coming from it

    Has she been spayed? It's really common for entire females to do this. It's due to them searching for extra nutrients incase they get pregnant!

    • She was spayed as a puppy. She's been doing this since she was halfway through her puppyhood.

    My dog eats all the poop he can get, even some out of my kids diaper
