My 1 month old puppy sleeps, eats poop, and everything. Is it normal?

Question

My 1 month old puppy sleeps all day and eats her poop and pee. She even eats everything she finds. Should I be concerned? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 11 days old

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is not necessarily concerning as it is not likely going to hurt her to eat her own poop though it would be more concerning if she was to get into other things around the house or outside which may result in an obstruction. Most 1 month old puppies sleep a lot so that is not necessarily the concern. Avoid her eating random objects around the house or outside and discourage her from eating her own feces for hygiene purposes. Best of luck!
