AIBU to think that wiping your dog's bottom is unnecessary?!

[Sleepyhoglet]

So, out for a peaceful stroll today and I saw a woman bend down and wipe her pooch's bum with toilet paper. Wtf! Is this normal because I've never owned a dog and having to do this would certainly put me off.

5 hounds! like she was pooing out a roll of astroturf?

Omg. Why did I start this thread! And why would you have to squeeze anal glands? I don't want to google.

I have to do it very occasional (thankfully) when something gets stuck coming out my dogs arse. I think it's pooy grass and if she can't get it out she runs riot through the house wiping her backside on every piece of soft furnishing I own .

I've also tried to squeeze her small glands but would rather not talk about that....

I know it's time to clip my dog's fur when she starts having poo stuck to her bum hair. DH takes the hose pipe to her to get it off before she is allowed in the house. (She does get a proper bath before I clip her though.)

Oh xposted with other grassyarsed dog owners.

Squoosh. . Umm like pooing a. . Umm clump of spagetti lol. Its not nice!

Sleepy, my dog stinks of fish when her glands are full. Thankfully since changing her food they drain without squeezing. This is because she is doing harder pos .

Anal gland have stinky minging stuff in it that usually the dogs evacuate themselves, sometimes however they get blocked and an impacted anal gland can be quite dangerous so they have to be manually squeezed. It is the one of the vilest jobs ive ever had to do - it fecking stinks! A good indicator that your dog needs its anal glands squeezing is when it does that arse dance across the carpet (either that or it has worms)

cocole that's horrible. Fishy anal glands.

my mums dog has long fur, its a HUGE dog and a real wimp, one day it got poo stuck in its fur and I had no choice but to bath it, whilst i was, um, sorting it out, it shat in my hand it was fucking grim - DP was gagging and his eyes were watering, but it was ME stood there with a handful of dogshit

I insisted she clipped his back end after that.

I trim the hair around my dogs' bums so they don't get it stuff

My dog when growing up had problems with his anal glands and the vet had to squeeze them out fairly regularly

Dogs love giving their own anal glands a good licking.

If my JRT gets something (usually my hair) he sits on your foot then goes crazy grateful when you remove it.

Urgh, I've just had a masala, why did I click?

This is why I have a short haired cat. Plus he wipes his own bottom on the grass AFTER he's done his business in his litter tray.

I am going to teach him to use the toilet next. you know some cats can flush too?

My ex's cat suffered from dangleberries.

I thought I was doing OK getting Rex cats, then one of them ate a length of shirring elastic. /boak

I have to, occasionally, wipe my Bedlington's bum, he has a grey curly furry one. it isn't pleasant but it is part of owning a dog really, and i'd rather that then have it on the carpet!

Oh my actual fucking god. And THIS is why dogs should not be allowed on beds.

They are called clinkers in my house and have to be removed with a baby wipe!

I sense a market opportunity for doggy Brazilians

Not that this would help when I have to manually excavate the consequences of my terrier's predilection for eating the furry coating off tennis balls. Sadly, his gut transit time is several hours longer than his window of associative learning, so he's doomed. As am I.

Stupid blardy animal.

My new dog is wire haired/shaggy and I've noticed when he has a poo he turns round and round in circles. I think the poo clings to him a bit so he spins round trying to shake it off.

This thread is gross. Must show it to Ds who wants a dog. Over my dead body!
