I have dogs, so right away nothing is off the menu.
Horrifying: the lab has sniffed out and swallowed baby bunnies whole, twice.
Gross: both dogs will eat the shit of any wild animal they find. They especially like cat shit. They both used to raid the cat box if unsupervised.
I get queasy very easily, almost to the point of vomiting, so dogs eating piles of shit is one of the reasons I don't want to own one. I could never truly love a dog after seeing it scarf down a steaming pile of shit. I do like dogs that I haven't seen eat a pile of shit though
No one tell them about rabbits!
dogs are scavengers and opportunist omnivores.
some animals shit has nutrients. dogs love cat shit because it's high in protein, as cats are carnivores and they don't digest all the protein they consume so their shit is full of it. also why cat shit stinks way more than dog shit.
they generally don't consume other dogs shit or other low-value shit. cat shit is high value to a dog.
Really? Cause I've seen several dogs just scarf down a steaming of shit at least 3 times. I've never seen a small dog chow down on a steaming pile of shit. So maybe it's the medium sized dogs like a Labrador or an Irish Setter(the last one scarfed up shit like it was ice cream)
Can confirm. Live in the country side, two outdoor cats and a dog. The dogs great, but he does not listen to me when he finds cat shit.
But it is getting better. I don't trust him alone, though.
That and the propensity of dog owners of having them lick their faces is a combination I can't stand
What you said and also people who suck their fingers while or after eating something. I'm no murderer but sometimes it seems justifiable to me
Our dog ate some cat turds, then threw them back up in the living room floor. Fuckin thanks, dog.
probably got too much litter and not enough of the good stuff.
my dog would delicately sift them out. only the funnest and freshest nuggets for her. she's refined like that.
Why the fuck do dogs eat cat shit. Especially mine. Fkn stop it
it tastes good and supplies them with nutriets.
same reasons goats lick the rocks where humans pee on hiking trails. it's a great source of salts for them.
It is a good source of b12
Kitty biscuits, a doggy delicacy for every k9.
The dog version of almond roca.
I have seen dogs wolf down a little den of bunnies a few times. Makes children scream.
one night was walking down a major street in my city and a rat darted out in front of us, my dog caught it, thrashed it back and forth, it was screaming, then she slammed it so hard on the ground it went limp.
we kept walking, and the people around us had stopped and were completely silence in shock at the 3 seconds of hyper violence they just witnessed.
Well, I guess in done reading this thread...
Bonus when they throw it up in the house. 🤢🤮
Best bonus never...
