weird dog behavior

One of my hounds is eating it's own feces.

She is going on three years old and is a little overweight (out of shape).

She acts like she is starving but body condition shows other wise.

I feed more than the recommended amount. I feed diamond hi-energy.

Anyone run into this before ?

I'd like to hear some opinions about this too I have kind of a goofy acting dog thats 1.5 years old and I know a lot of dogs do this but she eats cat sh*t like it's prime rib. Every day when she's let out she goes straight to where the cat sh*ts and then comes and eats her dog food like she hasn't been fed in weeks.

That's called Coprophagia in both cases .You can buy a product called Forbid that,when added to their food will stop them from eating their own stool.Most dogs like to eat cat feces.I don't know how you would stop that.
