I used one of those foot peel masks & was peeling the skin off. My beagle ran in & ate it all! 🤢

He also rolls in fox shit. And knocked over bathroom bin & took out tampon applicator & ... cleaned it 🤢

My staffy, when she was a puppy, ate the arses out of my DS' pants.

My sprocker eats his Mum's poo-not his own, just hers.

Eats fox shit

Rolls in fox shit

Walked in dog shit and trampled it all over the car (it was too late by the time i realised)

Licks other people sweat after gym class (I let him off the lead while we stretch, obviously wouldn't if anyone asked me not to but most seem to like a cuddle after class)

I had a cat who loved to eat that lamella stuff off Christmas trees. All of every December he'd be trailing poo-on-a-lamella out of his arse. Like the opposite of soap on a rope.

Beagled · 18/01/2020 17:35

Beagles are vile OP, mine is anyway!

He eats toys. Including rope toys. Which I then end up pulling strings of said toy from out his backside. Usually in public.

Rolls in any poo.

Drinks from the drains in the garden.

Full time litter picker. Eats what he can.

Should have got a cat

Camping with newly potty trained 3yr old and a 6 month old. DH went for a run and left me alone with DC and ddog.
Ds decided he needed a poo, but baby was asleep in the tent. So we whipped emergency potty out and decided I'd empty it once DH back.
DH got back, dog ran up to say hello/lick the sweat off dh's legs.
I said "I'll just run the potty down to the toilet block" went to pick up the potty and it was cleaned out (toilet roll and all). Yup...dog had eaten it all and was now licking DH with literal potty mouth!!! (I still had to run to the toilet block before I wet myself laughing)

My Mum’s old dog loved eating tissues! Clean or used, he couldn’t be trusted around them, as soon as you’d turn your back he’d steal them from the box or bin and eat them. His particular favourite tissues were used snotty ones, he’d beg for them like they were a treat!

Frankola · 18/01/2020 15:58

My dog once got over excited as my husband lifted him into the car boot and spaffed all over my husbands arm and the boot floor.

My husband was so grossed out he tried to tell me the dog accidentally did a little wee until I asked why the "wee" was thick and white-ish

Coughy4u · 18/01/2020 15:39

My cat had a worm dangling from his butt hole. He bit it and got it out. I saw him flick something but i wasnt sure. We were on my bed and the duvet ia brightly coloured. I accidentally felt something cold and squishy on my hand. i looked closely and it was a half pink half black worm wriggling.

Its also gross when he eats mice but thats by far the worst.

easyandy101 · 18/01/2020 15:35

Was once sitting in my bedroom and the cat walked in and puked up a massive tapeworm

Took about 5 minutes, was hardcore

Toddlerteaplease · 18/01/2020 15:34

My long haired Persian had diarrhoea. It stuck to her bloomers and went everywhere! Walked into the vets with her basket held at arms length and let them deal with her!

champagneandfromage50 · 18/01/2020 15:28

Hmmm the list- likes to roll in poo and it doesn't matter type, likes chewing on dirty pants, eats horse poo and deer poo, got excited with himself for thinking he had caught a squirrel but it was actually already dead and he ran round the park with it

KarmaStar · 18/01/2020 15:28

Not the Dog's fault here...but his owner when feeding the baby (her grandson,she was my employer at kennels).....She would do the some for you and some for you thing giving the baby some milk out of baby bottle then it was the Dog's turn....She was the same lady who boiled her dirty knickers with the staff lunch of boiled potatoes.....and one of her dogs left amid Mark's on the stairs.....🐕🐕🙊🙈

zasknbg · 18/01/2020 15:26

My dog is generally quite clean and hygienic. However he has a design flaw. Sometimes when he shits, he twirls round and steps in it 🤮
Then he wanders around doing paw prints of shit in my house 🤮
Now I sniff his feet when he comes in.

Ineedaweeinpeace · 18/01/2020 15:23

Eats poo nappies

SecondRatePony · 18/01/2020 15:22

An old dog of mine once ate a rotten mole that had come to the surface of the garden and died while we were away. Let the dog out for a wee when we got back, only to find him tucking into the mole.

He was extremely sick for about 24 hours and then totally back to normal Grin

Fifilafrog · 18/01/2020 15:18

Many years ago, when "potty training" our much beloved and now sadly departed dog, DH tried to guide the newspaper under pup's bottom as he was about to "go". Only thing is, Dpup had a dodgy belly and sharted all over his hand. Left a perfect hand print. I was hysterical with laughter. DH was not! 😂 💩

TeetotalKoala · 18/01/2020 14:41

Oh and Cat1 also protested when we stopped using the litter tray. She used to just go outside like Cat2. No problem, we'd let them out several times a day. So we got rid of the never used tray. Apparently she liked having the option and started protest pissing and shitting all over the house. A favourite spot was in the downstairs bathroom of the DCs dolls house. But also on my shag rug in the living room (that went to the tip as we couldn't get the smell out and the wooden floor underneath still has a dark stain), behind the toy boxes, anywhere really.
We reintroduced the litter tray and now she refuses to go outside and makes a point of taking a shit as we're preparing dinner.

TeetotalKoala · 18/01/2020 14:37

Cat1 pukes all the time. She has a tendency to bring up hairballs, but will often bring up her food and bile at the same time. That's fun to step in when you walk to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
Cat2 is my hunter. We don't have a cat flap in this house so I usually find mice on the mat outside the back door. I was disposing of one a few weeks ago and as I walked down to the end of the garden (I just drop them on our compast pile down the side of the shed), I walked past two others on the patio.

We had a cat flat in the old house and I'd regularly wake up to half a mouse in the kitchen or playroom. She tends to eat everything but the head. DH texted me once to tell me not to come home with the DC as he was midway through cleaning up the crow that was all over our living room. Feathers everywhere apparently.

StarySkyTonight · 18/01/2020 14:23

Doberman, approx 8 month old at the time ate a pair of DD2's knickers from the dirty wash basket, I didn't realise until she puked them up one night and then tried to eat them again Hmm

This is just the tip of the iceberg with her, lucky for her she's a loveable, soft as muck, funny and very sweet pain in my arse!

backatschool · 18/01/2020 14:15

Dog loves to eat human poo, the sloppier the better. We live in Amsterdam, there's a lot of it in the parks here, particularly in the summer. If it's laced with drugs he loves it even more, can smell it from quite far away (and needs a trip to the vet, a dog on a high is a strange thing to see).

When I lived in Australia cat used to suck the insides out of cockroaches and leave the outside remains all over the kitchen floor. He also used to eat lizards and leave the tails.

Cat also once brought in a whole rabbit through the cat flap, ate its head and left the body on the sofa for DH to find in the morning. 🤢

RIBlue · 18/01/2020 14:13

When my dog was a puppy he’d eat the crotch out of anything; worn, washed, brand new.

Now he mostly sticks to vermin. We live on a farm so plenty to go after, the relish as he slurps down mouse tails like spaghetti is quite disgusting. His preference is for alive but he’s not adverse to dead and putrid if it’s all that’s on offer. He ran out of a hedgerow and whacked me round the back of the knee with what appeared to be a half skeletal deer leg last week. Luckily he has an iron constitution so it’s very rare for anything to make a reappearance.

QuestionableMouse · 18/01/2020 14:12

I once watched a pigeon eat vomit. Lady sitting on a bench, chucked up between her feed and the pigeon raced over to eat it.

Topseyt · 18/01/2020 14:04

My old labrador used to love eating other dogs' poo if he got half a chance, but oddly enough never his own. He liked cat poo too.

He also would eat his own vomit sometimes, but not always.

AbsinthedelaBonchance · 18/01/2020 14:00

Old cat presented us with 4 ex-robins one Christmas...lined up on the mat...
Present cat left an ex-mouse in my bedside glass of water...

maggienolia · 18/01/2020 13:55

Old gent I used to care for had used his commode ....pushed it away so that I could sort him out.
His dog walked in, stuck it's nose in the commode, and ate the entire contents.
Saved me cleaning it, I suppose Grin
