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.

I have wanted a dog for the longest time. This thread has cured me.

One of my dogs was sick on the leather sofa this evening and ate it again. The cats used to leave just the head of a mouse with innards attached around the house. We have a Speshul Shovel for corpses in this house. One cat was sick over my laptop. Years ago, a now dearly departed cat pissed all over my then boyfriend's groin.

Oh god tunnocks that's actually horrific. Is this your cat who was sick/maybe injured (?) a few months back? Recovered enough to kill slow worms then Grin

My puppy got into the bathroom bin and ate a used tampon that I'd wrapped in toilet roll. I chased her and she was running whilst swallowing it down like a gannet. I had to take her to the vet to give her something to bring it all up again. I was mortifed explaining it but think the vet just wondered why I didn't flush tampons down the toilet.

Also when she's sick she eats it and is then sick again and so it goes on.

She also welcomes any house guests by trying to sniff their crotches.

I can handle a pretty defecating or urinating or even eating shit but what gives me the heave is the smegma/dick cheese my small dog leaves on the furniture

Apirateslifeforme · 17/01/2020 23:10

I came home from the school run one day, I could hear the dog the dog crying, but he sounded quite distant.
I know what that means...
The Dozy twats only gone and jumped the gate and is trapped on the landing of DDs floor of the house.
Soo. I go up, and yep, stuck.
I open the gate, and he charges down the stairs, all the way to the back door, and hes pawing at the window.
So I let him out and he starts to cack, I go to see if hes ok, and he brings up something white.
What.has.he.eaten?
Only turns out that he went up and raided DDs bin.
The white stuff was used sanitary towels.

Still makes me heave to think about

Boogbuster · 17/01/2020 23:11

*pet defecating...

QueenOfOversharing · 17/01/2020 23:11

@NotanotherboxofFrogs so ungrateful, that's a delicacy round some parts!

@SunbeamsOverhead I've heard that coprophagia (shit eating) is really hard to stop. Nasty fucker! 😂

@soulasylum splosh like a little bath bomb, disintegrating...

@AudacityOfHope like that magic trick with the hankies! 😂

@Iloveplacentas mine pukes then eats it again so fast. Mind you, saves me picking it up.

Oh my some of these are so gross.

This one is pretty mild compared to some on here, but my current Dcat enjoys killing spiders during the night. She then lines up the bodies at the bottom of the stairs ready for me to admire/accidentally tread on when I come downstairs in the morning. 3 in one night is her record.

My childhood Dcat once caught and ate a bird. The only bits she didn't eat were the beak and eyeballs. I know that because I saw something small and strange looking on the carpet. I leant down to pick it up and found I was holding the unwanted eyeballs and beak, still perfectly attached to each other. OvO Confused

@Sarcelle do you fancy a 6yr old beagle?

One used to chew on underwear (especially if it had accidental blood stains from my period), or he'd fish out my sanitary towels from the bathroom bin (I always tried to keep him out the bathroom but he was sneaky).

The other eats any kind of poo she can find, and she goes right to people's crotches sniffing around as soon as she meets them. So embarrassing.

Apirateslifeforme · 17/01/2020 23:15

I once had a dog who came up to the living room with his own shit on his ear. And as I tried to clean it he rolled over like a ninja, smearing shit into the sofa.

Current one also sneaked In one day whilst me and DH were doing the deed, first thing I knew was when DH shouted cos he had a wet nose on his arse. Not so disgusting, but cringe.

HeadLikeAFuckinOrange · 17/01/2020 23:16

The night after a milestone birthday, I woke up with a horrendous hangover.

Went to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee, but the smell turned my stomach - I had to bolt out of the back door to be sick (bathroom was 2 flights up, I'd never have made it).
My dog came out and started to eat my sick while I was still vomiting Envy

tunnocksreturns2019 · 17/01/2020 23:16

Audacity yes he’s fine now!! Murderous. DD was busy with him earlier. “Mummy, he LIKES it”

My old staffy ate a thong. I didn't know it was missing until he puked it up 3 days later.

Which also made me puke.

KurriKurri · 17/01/2020 23:17

Not my pet but one I was looking after.
I was staying in a friends house with her mother and looking after her cats. Got home from shopping one day to find what looked like a ccrime scene. Friends Mum was shut in her bedroom and shouted cat's been disgusting, you'll have ro deal with it, I can't.
The cat had killed dismembered a huge iguana and left bits of it in just about every room in the house. I had to go round collecting up gory pieces of the ex iguana and try to make sure I had all the pieces so no one got a nasty shock with a leg or something I had missed.

Same cat later brought in and released a huge hissing cockroach which scuttled all over the place while I tried to chase it with a tupperware box to catch it in.

meow1989 · 17/01/2020 23:17

My cat came in once and threw up on the carpet, not that unusual but he appeared to have eaten an entire fat ball made with meal worms prior to coming in. It was so disgusting that I cried whilst cleaning it up Blush

lexiepuppy · 17/01/2020 23:18

My dog ate a used tampon out of the bathroom bin.
We took her for a walk at a National Trust Forest the next day and she literally took a dump outside the cafe.
The tampon got caught coming out of her butt and I had to get some loo roll and pull on the string to get it out of her arse, all in view of people trying to enjoy their coffee and cake!🤢🤮🤪

SashayThatWay · 17/01/2020 23:19

Disgusting Dog1 ate Delightful Dog 2's freshly evacuated poo, then threw the whole perfectly formed parcel up onto my bare thigh.

bank100 · 17/01/2020 23:23

Never had my own dog (and never will after this thread!)
But as an easily embarrassed teen, I would have to avoid going to my best friends house if on my period. Her dog would get over excited jump up at your crotch and try and desperately lick / eat your trousers or even tights to get to your P pad. Urgh.
He was cute the other 3.5 weeks of the month

NewYoiker · 17/01/2020 23:24

Went to the
Loo, middle of the night DH took twat dog outside, got off the loo to 'oh my god noooooooo!!! Get back here!!!! No! Don't go upstairs!!!

She'd
Caught a mouse, killed it and took it upstairs into our bed!!!

Saw a string hanging out of other dogs mouth, thought it was just stuck in his beard but it kept coming and coming, like a magicians handkerchief trick, it was at least 6 foot long and clearly sat in his stomach as he kept gagging as I pulled it out 🤢

Same dog has puked on the only piece of carpet in the room many many many timeshare 🙈

NewYoiker · 17/01/2020 23:28

Oh and the same twatty male dog can open cupboards and I was newly single and living alone.. mum came to visit, Colin (the twat dog) went off upstairs randomly and came downstairs proudly parading my vibrator, I don't know how or why he felt then was the best time to do that 😩😩

ErrolTheDragon · 17/01/2020 23:33

Re dogs who eat their own poo or that of another pet you own - I was told by someone (he bred and trained sheepdogs) that if you feed them some pineapple that gives the faeces a taste dogs dislike. Might be worth trying. (Don't know if it has to be fresh or if tinned is ok, or how much)

RoLaren · 17/01/2020 23:34

Getting it on with my boyfriend at the time (now husband despite this incident) and my German Shepherd wandered into the bedroom, squatted and shat next to the bed. It didn't half ruin the mood! 😃
