Dog people - how does the poo not disgust you?

This has already been addressed. They do not have dirty bumholes

Oh good, another dog hating thread 🙄

You always wonder how dirty dog’s bums are? Maybe a new hobby is in order?

@Emmz1510 if your friend has to wipe her dog's bottom after every defecation then something is not working as it should and she needs to take the dog to the vet.

Wrong! They're the best - one poo bag in each pocket in cold weather means warm hands 😄

I have no idea how I've got through 48 years of dog ownership without realising how fixated non-dog people are on dog poo and dog bums. This thread has been a real eye opener.

If often wondered this, as a non dog owner. The odd time I’ve had to pick up dog poo from my garden because some twat has let their dog go there, it turns my stomach and I’m dry heaving with the grossness of it 🤢.
I’m guessing the people who own dogs feel it’s worth it for the rewards of having a dog.
I also always wonder, their butts must be awfully dirty after. A friend of my mine says she wipes her wee cockapoo’s bum after he goes, but you never see folk doing this out and about with their dog. I think of their poor floors when the dog sits down (more 🤢).

I used to live near a Rottweiler who did double handers. The owner looped his lead round his ankle so he could pick up the poo. Huge. He said he needed extra large bags.

I never thought I’d be able to get used to my cats’ pops though, and I have. If they’re going to miss the litter tray I’d always prefer it to be an easily picked up poo to a messy wee with a smell that lingers.

I’ve always wanted a dog and never been that bothered about the idea of picking up poo, and now I have one I barely think about it (always pick it up, but it is not something that affects me at all).

However, my husband was disgusted by the idea and it put him off having a dog. Now we have her, I think it’s no longer a big deal for him at all - he would rather not have to do it but it doesn’t affect his day! You just get used to it, and it’s a part of caring for this living creature that you love. He’s still disgusted by the idea if it’s not hers, and when she has a bad tummy it’s still pretty horrible.

I think people who leave poo aren’t necessarily doing it because they’re disgusted, I reckon it’s more they just can’t be arsed carrying a bag of poo about and have probably forgotten to bring bags, or just too lazy. We have poo bags attached to our dog’s lead and in all bags etc so they’re always at hand, but a lot of people won’t bother to do this. I think it’s so so awful and gives dogs & dog owners a bad name, and shows such a lack of respect for other people and your neighbourhood. I hate stepping in dog poo as much as any dog-hater out there!

One of my dogs was this morning 😆 He did it in the garden, got a small shovel it gets it up.

I used to walk a neighbour's dog when the neighbour was poorly, and dreaded picking his poos up (although I always did)...the sensation of warm and squishy poo against my fingers really disguseted me, even though there was a plastic bag between me and the poo.

I have my own dog now, and somehow picking up her poos doesn't worry me at all. Cleaning up her vomit, however (not envy)

It's not great but just part of looking after your dog. I watched the latter part of Clarksons Farm the other day and the cess pit was being drained and cleared for the first time in at least 60 years. As the vile sludge was drained into a waiting tanker, a shit covered man wearing an aqualung emerged from the cess pit where he'd been sorting out a blockage. That is a step too far for 99.9 percent of us. Even Clarkson turned green. So, dog poo ? It's easy.

This! I've done the same. What's worse is when the other dog poo is cold 😱

Dog size isn't always a factor in poo quantity. It's more determined by what they're fed. My giant dog does tiny poos in comparison with the output of much smaller dogs.

I have 2 big dogs and their poo doesn't bother me , but I couldn't cope with another dogs poo.
It was like when my boys were babies, I could obviously cope with their nappies, but never another babies...well, my sisters babies were ok too.

Good for you, if knew where you lived I'd send you a massive box of chocolates / wine.

It’s hardly radioactive ☢️

Agree picking up warm poo is preferable to a cold poo.

Agree with pp, dog size poo is part of my criteria when selecting a dog. I couldn't cope with picking up a poo larger than my fist.

I can cope with small, warm and squishy.

My DH is in charge of garden clean up and makes him heave, so doubt we'll get another dog, when the time comes.

You’re getting a little weird now..

Totallly agree. I take a flask out on my dog walks - saves a fortune.

Grabbing a quid coffee from Greggs is pretty standard day to day stuff for most people isn't it. Not exactly Luxe.

It's just hard poo; not as if it's running all over the shop. Doesn't bother me in the slightest. I'll even pick up someone else's dog poo, if it's close to mine. (Lazy fuckers who can't be bothered picking up).

On thinking, and having left the corporate world to work with dogs, I would infinitely rather pick up dog poo than spend another minute listening to corporate bullshit, sales people promising stuff to customers that can't possibly be delivered, people repeating what the previous person said just so they can hear their own voice, employees bitching about being just as productive at home as they are in the office etc etc.

And, it keeps your hands warm in the winter. Back of your neck too, if you forget your scarf.

Still about 20 times more expensive than making your own.

Light blue touch paper, and retire 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yes cats are much better, they just shit in your neighbour's garden. Most of my neighbours have cats and I don't, so they seem to all use my garden as the local feline public toilet for my kids to stand in. I've never had a dog shit in my garden.
