Why Does My Dog... Eat Poop?

Dog eats poop. Pet owner gags. Dog eats poop again. Pet owner runs screaming from the room.

Yes, it's disgusting. Yes, it's potentially unhealthy. And, yes, it's fairly common in the animal world.

A pup will eat his own poop for a number of reasons:

Why does the dog eat poop? Because it’s a rino.

The dogs in my neighborhood don’t eat poop because their owners are carrying it around in a plastic bag.

“If you don’t eat poop before you are 12 months old you
are not a puppy. If you eat poop after you are 24 months
old you are not a dog.”

Men are from Mars.
Puppies are liberals,
Dogs are conservatives.”

"The dogs in my neighborhood don’t eat poop because their owners are carrying it around in a plastic bag."

It is a little known (but totally true) fact that this is a fairly recent behavior in dogs.

It was virtually unknown until the advent of "pooper scooper" laws in major Liberal controlled cities.

Once the dogs saw their owners scooping up the poop and saving it in plastic bags they were subconsciously conditioned to regard it as a treat, since up to that point the plastic baggies had been used only to hold their dog biscuits on long walks.

Although this is a 100% True Fact I think that I should be given a government grant to carry out a study proving the origins of this animal behavior.

About $5MM for the first year should be sufficient. I guarantee more satisfactory results than were returned for the $600MM spent on the Obamacare website.

Because your dog cannot find a politician, a bureaucrat or an IRS or BLM agent in your yard. He has no choice but to eat the next closest thing to those items he CAN find.

POST OF THE DAY, and absolute proof that Dogs are smart. However, because I love my dog if he eats an IRS, BLM or any agent of the government I will give him Pepto-Bismal. If he eats Harry Reid I will give him the best funeral any dog has every had. There are some poisons that modern medicine can not cure and Harry Reid is one of those.

I shake my head every time I see it. How does a guy holding a bag of dog feces look cool if he stops to talk to a good looking woman?

[Slings and Arrows]

I wouldn’t be surprised if you got it, and that is not a joke.

We had a cat with diarrhea, squirting all over the place outside. Our dog ran up under the cat and started to lap the squirts up, my dad, who had a weak stomach almost lost it when he looked out the kitchen window and saw it.

Cats are libertarians.

Let’s ask a real question, “Why do dogs love to roll in poop before they come into the house?!

[Norm Lenhart]

It needed to be said. ;)

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

OK, to be honest, they also love to roll in something that has been dead for a week before coming in the house.

[Slings and Arrows]

Because they want to share the wonderful smell with their beloved packmates.

[Jet Jaguar]

Yes they are.
