I would take a look at the food I was feeding to make sure it contains an easy to digest protein as well.

Another reason for Coprophagia (poop eating) in dogs is that they have been scolded harshly for pooping in the wrong place, and want to hide the evidence. Here's a link that has more information: and what you can do about it.
