Many dogs do eat poop whether it is warm or frozen, to them its considered a treat!! It is disgusting and not healthy so you should visit your vet to be sure there isn't a medical issue going on

True! There might be a nutrient deficiency in the dogs diet or maybe his body is not absorbing the nutrients he needs from the food quickly enough before it passes. He can smell what he needs in his body from the poop, so naturally... he ingests. I would definitely suggest a vet visit. Play it safe!
