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.

Also, everytime I read an update on this thread, I have difficulty keeping down what I have eaten. It is seriously the most disgusting thread I have read. I knew my dog was disgusting, but did not realise that this applies to nearly all gods!

*dogs!

My dog used to race me to the potty. She sucks poo up like spaghetti.

Once my daughter vomited all over her bedroom floor so I got her in the bathroom and went back to clean it and the cat had munched the lot of it

My dog as a puppy split open a bin bag in the garden (I hadn’t had chance to put in the wheely bin yet) and managed to get to my daughters nappy and eat poo out of it.. needless to say I always made sure nappies always went into nappy bags after that and bin bags straight in the wheely bin.

The bloody thing has also ate its own vomit.

QueenOfOversharing · 20/01/2020 12:04

@Recyclerfail awwwwwwwe so cute! That puppy will never do anything naughty.

My younger lab had just started a walk with us in the woods and he spotted a man crouching down about 25 yards away doing his business. Went like the clappers towards him, he dropped the tissues he had been using and ran clutching his trousers, my dog calmly ate whatever he had left and brought the used tissues back to me as a prize. I don't think any recall command would have worked. He also has a knack of discovering fisherman and their weevil bait...

Ate a fresh toddler poo straight out of the potty
Walked in shit and walked all over my new carpet
Used to eat his own poo regularly
Used to activley seek out sanitary towels from the bathroom bin, he had figured out how to put his paw on the pedal and open it. We now have a much taller bin.
Loves to eat snotty tissues.
Loves to take knickers from the laundry piles when I'm sorting the washing.
Has breath that could kill you from several metres away (not his fault, diabetic and has to eat really stinky food).

Still love him.

inwood · 20/01/2020 12:18

Oh and I've just remembered when he snaffled a mini babybel. I had to erm, help, the wax out of the bum end.

Ashtower · 20/01/2020 13:21

M dog ate his diarrhoea and vomited it out in the hallway. Had to go hire a carpet cleaner to get rid of the vomit-poo smell. Ended up cleaning all the carpets so maybe it was a good thing as the house looks great now.

Damntheman · 20/01/2020 13:32

My cat once killed a rat, brought it in and then hid it in the darkest recesses under the bench in the bathroom. On the underfloor heating.

I went absolutely nuts trying to locate the source of that godawful smell. I thought it was a ripe nappy bin, it was not. Finding that rat was easily among my top five grossest experiences. Dick.

Zoidbergonthehalfshell · 20/01/2020 13:35

We had a (now sadly departed) Jack Russell. The first time my brother met him, he picked him up, and the dog was getting really excited at meeting this lovely friendly new person...

A little too excited. He ejaculated down my brother's tie. Blush

MargeSimpsonswig · 20/01/2020 13:37

Ate cat poo, vomited cat poo back up, ate cat poo vomit 🤮

LakieLady · 20/01/2020 13:39

Lakie 1 was a roller. You name it, he rolled in it. Horse poo is fine, it brushes out and leaves very little smell, but human poo is beyond disgusting. He even managed to get it IN his ears. Fox shit was a regular treat.

He dug up a long dead fish on a Cornish beach and rolled on it, which was pretty gross. The smell was still discernible at the end of the holiday. The worst was when he rolled in a puddle of liquid which had seeped out of a slurry heap or similar. It took lots of the ketchup treatment and 5 baths with scented shampoo to reduce the stench to tolerable levels.

When we got Lakie 2, they soon learned to play tug-of-war together. Which was pretty innocuous, until they discovered that (live) slow worms make great tuggy toys.

Being female, she's nowhere near as disgusting, but in her youth would kill and eat rabbits. Then vomit them back up again. The worst thing she did was kill a hedgehog. I found it in the garden, and still haven't quite forgiven her 10 years later.

I've had 2 disgusting cats, too. One would bring in live birds (I'm bird phobic) that then shat all over the place, while the other went for mice. He would eat the top half of the mouse, and leave the bottom half intact, on the stairs. His record was 4 pairs of mouse trousers in one night. Of course, I stepped in 2 of them. Mouse entrails on bare feet is no way to start the day.

AshenQueen · 20/01/2020 13:49

Quite relieved I'm not the only one who's Ddog eats their child's poo.

Mine will head dive into the toilet to eat it if he has half the chance.

Then follow her around sniffing her bum, panting and trying to hump her.

He also rolls in all kinds of shit and licks pee frequently.

DP still lets him lick his face 🤢

Soundbyte · 20/01/2020 13:53

I’ve got four cats so I’ve had to chase a good amount of small creatures around my house that they’ve brought in and not managed to kill before they escaped but the worst by far was a big bloody rat! It took some doing to get hold of that thing and get it out of the house!

I once went downstairs at around 3am for a drink and didn’t bother putting the light on. One step into the kitchen and something was tickling my feet and sticking to them. I put the light on and the whole kitchen floor was awash with feathers.. one of my cats had dragged in a huge pigeon and demolished it on my nice clean floor 😭 As I was stood Aghast at the sheer amount of feathers and mess I heard a crunching sound. I found my cat around the corner munching on the pigeons head.

Similarly I saw something on the floor in the hallway and couldn’t make out what it was. I picked it up and had a closer look, turning it over etc .. it was a bloody bird beak. I spent ages hunting around the house for the rest of it but never found any.

More recently my lovely little female cat who doesn’t come for a fuss very often stood on the arm of the sofa next to me and turned to put her hurt in my face. This means she wants a scratch on her back which I’m quite happy to give her, until something moving about caught my eye.. there was a worm literally hanging from her butt! It turned out she had tapeworm which explained the odd little segments of unknown origin id found a day before on my pillow :(

LakieLady · 20/01/2020 14:02

dogs have really amazing sense of smell, so why do they eat / roll in really stinky stuff? Like, beagles are scent hounds, but go straight for fox poo.

It disguises their dog smell, which is useful when hunting. If you're hunting a fox, it's good to smell like a fox, even a shitty one.

isseywith4vampirecats · 20/01/2020 14:37

one of my cats has the habit off woofing his biscuits down he then goes in the front room and brings them back up, mall over the top of the sofa dosent sick up on the floor where its easy to clean and my daughters dalmation if im not quick enough serfs the litter tray and eats the poo animals are gross

Furrydog7 · 20/01/2020 15:13

When i was a child my mum had a dog who loved rolling in pooh and he liked to show off his private parts.

QueenOfOversharing · 20/01/2020 16:28

@LakieLady that obvs makes sense!! 🤦🏼‍♀️ I have 2 friends who have Lakies! I drove them (when they were a couple) to get their first from a breeder in Exeter. He was nuts!! 😂

@Furrydog7 & others -

my beagle boy has been with us almost 3 years and he never gets his "pink lipstick" out. Only time I've ever noticed is if he's heaving out a shit. Im not complaining, but having had male dogs before who got theirs out all the time, he's quite the modest gentleman! 💄

My sprocker loves a good truffling in the chocolate truffle box aka the cats litter tray and is there on clean up duty within seconds if the cats throw anything up. He'll roll in anything nasty and is a frequent visitor to the bathroom bin to peruse the sanitary towel delicacies produced by three girls in the house! We get the booty scooting across the lounge floor and over zealous bottom cleaning audio too. My sister was particularly proud of her cat when it decided to eat some tinsel at xmas and spent the festive period with a particularly festive tuft of tinsel hanging out of its rear which had to be teased slowly out like a cat poo advent calender. Good job these furry friends also have some good qualities too !

My cat took a shit in the tumble dryer, didn't realise until I turned it on and a foul hot shit smell filled the house.

Frlrlrubert · 20/01/2020 20:26

My dogs love cat treats from the litter tray, just had to shower one because she had cat shit in her (spaniel) ear hair.

Have nommed the contents of nappies and the occasional toddler accident.

Have licked DDs bum when I was trying to help her wipe.

The cats once did a double dirty protest - one in the bathroom sink and one on a bedroom rug because I was stupid enough to clean both litter trays at once.

The worst two I think I've told before but...

The day the takeaway delivery man phoned us from the end of the drive because he 'wasn't good with cats' - specifically cats that were blocking the doorway and in the process of eviscerating a pigeon (the one that's no longer with us used to eat the hearts and leave the rest).

The time the dog ate a toddler sock, shat out the toddler sock, ate the shitty toddler sock (she was too fast for me), vomited up the shitty toddler sock. She was trying to eat the vomity shitty toddler sock when I managed to intervene.

Imserious · 20/01/2020 20:35
