AIBU in thinking you should wipe...

[TiggyD]

...dog's bottoms after they poo? Have people never heard of hi jean? And then these dogs sit on sofas and old people and children. It's wrong not to give their under-tail region a quick polish afterwards. KFC finger wipes would be an ideal thing for dog owners to carry with them for the porpoise of canine rim sanitation. Somebody should write to Mr Give.

< boaky face. We haven't got a dog, we have got a cat though. I can't see her letting me wipe her bum hole. It's not really my problem anyway, as she always shits next door and wipes her arse on their luffly lawn.

I thought that Broken, but I suspect it's something we'll wish very much that we hadn't asked.

Are you my neighbour Arya?

Assuming Tiggy is being silly, but I do think she's got a point - I don't have a dog and part of the reason why is because I hate the thought of it making little bum-hole poo prints all over my house. If I had to have one I think I would make it wear pants.

I bet Lakeland have a special brush for it.

-now with husband attachment. 2 AS batteries required.

Might be chuff chuff sorry bout that.

I like the idea of doggy pants, wouldn't want to wash to skid marks out of them though.

Hi Jean!

Dogs do have anal glands that occasionally need emptying. I doubt a quick swipe with a KFC tissue would do the truck though. And what have porpoises got to do with it! Lol.

Truck - trick .. Ffs my own auto correct isn't great today either!

I'm sure the Sexual Offences Act 2003 has a section covering this type of thing.

Anal gland explosion. Once smelled, never forgotten. A bit like C-Diff.

i've had to cut matted clags off our cat before that have got caught up in her long fur , tricky stuff (she isn't brilliant at grooming in the bottom area due to very long fur)

More worried about grandchild wiping bum or peeing on dog when she sits on him.

YABU - my dogs wipe their own arses by licking them, I'm not wasting my money on loo roll for them. Then they give me lots of lovely wet doggy kisses.

Would you give them a wipe over with a bit of minty toothpaste (as famously recommended by one MNetter) as well, OP, just to keep them that bit fresher?

My dog's arse always seems to be clean even after pooing, I know she must lick it as well but she does seem to have a marvellous self-cleaning bum.

Now I just need her to teach the kids her unique method as they always seem to have grubby behinds even though they know how to wipe and claim to do so every time

It's bad enough when I have to don rubber gloves and wield kitchen roll at arms length to pull out the long bits of grass/baby wipes/assorted random items he's eaten (once a pair of tights) that are hanging out of the dog's arse, I think wiping it as well might finish me off

Urgghhh, why have I come back to this when eating lunch?

Our dog once ate some tinsel.

Pooed most of it out with some dangling, DH had to don gloves and pull the rest...... bit like a 'wipe' all the way through?

I wipe my dogs bum when he needs a haircut.

Ha ha at Hi Jean though.

What do sea mammals have to do with rim hi-jean?

I can imagine that carrying a porpoise, Jean, and a fried chicken takeaway around with you when walking the pooch could be a little bit annoying. What if you have to chase after the dog, and the porpoise falls out of your bag (they're quite wriggly, I gather.) I suppose you could send Jean to catch the porpoise, but what if all three of them do a poo in the park and you've only got one KFC to wipe their bottoms with?

It'd never work.

I've wiped my dog's arse on occasion- we used to have a jack Russell so short haired and an exposed arsehole. If he didn't feel clean rather than lick it he would scoot on the carpet (eww) so we got in the habit of giving him a quick glance, and a once over with a baby wipe or tissue if needed.

It could be worse though- my mum has a long haired dog with bowel issues. She has to wash her dog's arse if she's had the runs.

ruby my dog tore apart and ate one of his rope toys. It's surprising just how long a piece of dog toy can be.

Oh god memories of helping HoffDog relieve my over the knee rainbow sock he scoffed from the washing...

stood in the middle of the dog park, poo bag on hand cursing him out. It was just so springy, damn elastic. I was terrified I was going to get a crap-slap across my chops.

I honestly do have the most hygienic dog ever. He has never ever noticed that he has an arse, and has definitely never licked it.

The only things he ever licks are his paws because he hates getting them wet or muddy and even wipes them before he comes into the house.

He wont even have a dump if anyone is watching him in the garden and gets stressed.
