Does your dog eat turds?

A neighbor's dog, a big dog, use to eat his own turds...sort of like self preservation......it was F'in disgusting to see.

It was always 'interesting' when he would have company over and that dog would come around wanting to lick the guests. Those of us that 'knew' would just sit back and cringe.....
 
I have three dogs. Our First dog never ate turds. Then we got Our second dog and she was malnurished and neglected before we got her. I think she ate her and other dogs turds just to survive. She continued this after we got her. Our first dog picked up on the turd eating and now eats turds as well. Whe my sister in law dumped her Dingo on us he of course saw the other two, happily eating turds, so therefore thought it would be a good idea to eat them too.
Now i have three Sht eating dogs with Sht eating grins after they are done. I've tried everything to stop them. Once I put hotsauce on the said turd thinking a little Texas Pete in the dogs mouth would quell it. They just looked at me and thanked me for the condiments.

On the plus side i only have 3 piles of crap to clean up a day as opposed to six.
 
Funny...

Our Collie wants nothing to do with the cat, or it's turds.
But we used to have a huge Dobie that loved eating the bird poo from our Macaw's cage.
 
Same here. We put a piece of wood to prevent the dog to go in the room where the cat box is. Not a problem for the cat to jump over it.

My sister had a black lab that loved cat's turds. The problem was that the dog was also eating chunks of litter. He died from some kind of kidney disease because of that.

My wife buys a corn meal based litter, so the cat piss turns into a dumpling.
 
The only think he won't eat is his or other dogs crap, he was outside one day and the kids saw a small bird fall out of its nest, with in 3 sec he had swallowed the bird whole with out chewing. My wife was worried about the bones so she called the vet, he said the bones of a baby bird are soft and shouldn't cause a problem but she should check his crap for the next few days. I won't go into detail other than I no longer can eat Chinese chicken wings.

:wow:
 
You guys have sh*t eating dogs ??. I live out in cow country and we don't have that out here. :grin:

Wayne,
You can't get more in cow country (well, it used to be more that way - we've gone from >20,000 farms in the 70's, to less than 2,000 now) than here in VT, I mean it's the land of Ben & Jerrys, and like I said, I've seen dogs here do it.

re: the licking your face after, yeah, I never let that Aussie do it, but my gf did. Once in a while when she'd ask why I didn't let her dog "kiss" me, I'd tell her why.
 
We live in the rabbit capitol of the world. All three of our dogs maintain a steady diet of bunny poop. Buddy (boxer) will kill & eat anything that comes on the property......rabbit, fox, neighbors dog....he doesn't care.:smt009
 
I heard that a town was having their dog officer squirt peanut butter on dog poop not picked up in their parks; dogs like peanut butter so they would eat it, the owners would get grossed out and maybe clean up after their own dogs.:lol:
 
I like to call it "Kitty Roca" since they look like Almond Roca candy!

Think about this while your pooch is licking your face...
 
Well guys, I'll see your cat turds and raise you a couple of poops.

I have two dogs and an old cat. The cat has his own cat cave under the basement stairs with a 12" by 8" cat door that is no longer a barrier to our 70 lb+ Great Pyr mix dog. One day my wife asks where she is. I looked all over the house and no dog. Then I thought, where is the only place I haven't looked...yep the cat cave and there she was licking her chops after feasting on a cat turd snack. I put a piece of electrical conduit across the opening to reduce the entry height and she managed to move it out of the way to reach her snacking nirvana in litter box. Now we have to incarnerate the cat to prevent her from invading the cat cave.

That's dog #1. Dog #2 is our Corgie who has fashioned himself as backyard poop seeking missle. If there is even a raisin of racoon poop in the back yard he finds it and proceeds to roll in it thinking it's body lotion. Dog #1, not to be left out of the festivities, finds her own poop pile and proceeds to roll in it. Raccon poop on a white dog is hardly aroma therapy.

Dog #2 has also acquired a taste for his own excrement. So we have to be quick to pick it up in our dog pen or it is recylcled through our his digestive system. And no, we don't allow either dog to lick our faces.:smt013
 
Clever idea.

Unfortunately, my kid's freaking cat is bigger than my wife's freaking dog (note that I claim no ownership of either). So if anything, the g*d damn fat piece of sh!t cat would get stuck in there.

I don’t know but I was witness to your dog taking out some really big ones! If that’s the case I hate to see what the cat would do!
 
If you use the clumping cat litter (my kids call them "crap crystals"), that can be toxic to dogs.

I had a friend whose dog required emergency surgery due to the clumbing cat litter that was ingested. I thought it was funny, but my friend was not happy about the $500 vet bill.
