My dog seems to like rolling around in other dog crap, horse crap and cow pats!

Its happened loads of times recently now and its getting beyond a joke!

She seems to rub her face and ears in it and tries to get it all over her body as much as she can. Why she'd actually choose to do this is beyond me!

Anyone know why she's doing this as i really need to try and stop her doing it. It bloody stinks and its costing me a bloody fortune in shampoo!

Cheers.

 

my dog used to do it in fox poo.... used to take days for that stench to go!!

 

to hide their sent from others

 

its murder when they do it, usually dead animals, when mine do it i pressure wash them

 

Our old Labrador used to do exactly the same thing.. Mind you she used to eat horse shit as well, daft bugger she was.

 

ours do it to - they look up at us and have a look of devilment in their eyes just as their about to do it to. fookers

 

My misses dog rolls in any type of shit going.....except human shit.....

Also she rolls in dead fish and sheep

Do they think they look good......... "HHmmmm...... im knackered from my run over the feilds so what can i do to really fuck my master off. I know, i will go and roll in another animals shit.......Why not."

 

I got two lil whippets and the littler one of the two always does it. Looked into why and its because they want the sent of a bigger dog! (or fox or cow etc!)

 

 

I had a dog that used to run off to the farmers fields and roll in pig shit!. She used to come back stinking.

 

female are the ones that do it more.its scenting.they are laying thier scent on it to say they are there.our little girl does it.they have scent glands behind their ears.its a way of saying they are about and are interested.bascially its two's company for dogs

both male and female will also do it on any prey they kill.its claiming it as theirs and is a sign to other dogs around that this is their kill and thier area.
our frequently do it on voles they catch over the field.they dont eat them,just kill the,scent them and leave.

 

I was always told its just part of certain dogs natural instincts as hunters - when wild dogs used to hunt they would roll on the ground to hide their scent from their prey. So in short your dogs just trying to disguise its natural odor.

 

pmsl my mates dog buster used to do it, spray them with a cold water from a hose pipe, they might get the hint

 

Cheers all.

Im glad im not the only one then!

So if its just a scent and natural instinct thing then i dont mind so much. I was actually worried that she had some sort of strange fetish going on!

Thinking about it, she has done it on a dead rabbit before, and she also rubs her ears and face on her favourite toy too so that explains why now. I dont suppose you can really stop them if its what they want/need to do naturally??

Thing is though, i swear she does it on purpose. I only have to say the word BATH and she runs upstairs full pelt and jumps straight in the bath with the tail wagging like a good un! She loves having baths so probably enjoys smelling like a sewer cos she knows what coming when she gets home!

 

omg i hate it! my husky maya does it! i've never had a dog that does this and my god it's minging isnt it!!, she escaped the other day and thankfully!! she was only down the road i called her and she came tearing back covered and i mean head body everywhere! in the worst smelling shit ever!! i put her straught in jitchen and i couldnt even go in there to get her to put her in the shower pmsl!!
i cant stand it!! good job i love her lol!!

 

foxshit!!! worst smell going.real nasty.ours do it too.got to be quick on the lead to stop it.its not him but always her.

 

My lab does it. Fucking thing.

Only interested in fox pooh which is lucky - although we do have a huge fox problem localy so not all good.

Now I keep an eye on her, if I see her hit the deck head first I shout at her and she jumps up and legs it. Its all about the discipline .

 

yep probably!! do yours eat shit too?? maya eats the cat shit that the damn cats next door leave in my garden!!!

 

My English Bull Terrier rolls in and eats horse shit. It pisses me right off, she even trys fking off into the horses field to "play" with the horses the little dooley. Sure she does it on purpose lol

 

My dog don't touch shit if I throw his ball in the park and it goes near or on it he won't pick it up he just barks at it then I gotta get it myself the ball that is

my dog rolls on the grass when he gets ants on him.

 

Dogs have scat fetishes to you know.

 

I didn't but I bet you know about them

This is the advert at the bottom of the page. you can get a pill for it

 

Crazy dogs - never understand why they do that

 

i thought eating their poo was sign of worms

so i wormed her today lol!!

is it a habit then? dirty beast! LOL!!

 

Aaahhhh, fox shit!! My parents house backs onto a beach and golf course and Fox's come into their garden at night. My dog LOVES rolling about in it, got to watch her like a hawk when I'm down and let her out the back! Get's it right in her ears and all over her face. Comes back looking quite proud of herself too It STINKS! So bad!

 

they did do when young but not too bad now.tbh its a mix of things i think.
they see the mother do it when they are young as she cleans up after them by doing this.
and also it can be down to an iron deficiancy(sp)

our girl has not done it in ages but we give them veg in thier food so they get it from there now too.and cod liver oil tablets are good for them.their coat and bones

 

nope,dragging their arse on the floor and licking their bum is a sign of that

you have to be careful with fox poo.it can give dog disentry(sp) not nice!

 

On of the dogs my mum once took in escaped one day and came back home green - yes, he'd been rolling in cow shit..... even the labrador turned his nose up at him, and when she'd finished trying to bath him, most of the bathroom was covered in it too...... whole house stunk for days.....

RIP to all three - and the fact that I will never own a dog - EVER.

 

yeah maya gets veg, may start her on some cod liver oil tablets as her coats quite dry at the moment

 

My dog eats the cat poo, he follows them both round and when one go for a shit he is there with dollar signs in his eyes. They can't even finish it and he's got his head up there arse.

Fucking horrible.

 

we give them holland and barrett norwegian cod liver oil tablets, 410mg tablets

a 500g bottle is next to nothing and lasts ages.and we have two.really isnt worth buying theso called dog ones.no different and twice the price

 

I just had to wash my westie tonight and he STILL stinks!!!!! Yuk!
I returned home to find hi bannished out in the porch and he was covered in 'green stuff'! My wife siad he went mad and started rolling in the stuff.
I still don't know what it is as it looks like cow poo, but it's on my land which I just cut yesterday! All I can think of is deer poo.

I'm just away to wash him again as the Puppy Fresh spray is getting weaker!
