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 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!

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

Took about 5 minutes, was hardcore

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.

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

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!

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)

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

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.

Herts6789 · 18/01/2020 18:40

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)

sueelleker · 18/01/2020 18:42

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

madamedesevigne · 18/01/2020 18:44

My cat ate hair, tried to shit it out and ended up with a piece of poo hanging out of his bum suspended from a hair. This terrified him and he then went racing around the flat leaving a trail of poo behind him. I came home, panicked and immediately grabbed the hair and pulled. Fortunately, it snapped. I then spent a sheepish ten minutes on the phone to the emergency vet who clarified that I almost certainly wouldn’t have done any serious permanent damage, although there was a distinctly frosty atmosphere at home for a while afterwards.

English setter, regurgitated a football sock that went missing 10 days previously.

Dinnertime22 · 18/01/2020 18:46

I do not have any pets. However, a few years I went out to a local park with my friend and her DC. It was summer and the child did a poo which just fell out of his shorts (he was having toilet issues)
A big lab came along and eat it. It then ran off.
I stood and watched in horror. Vile.

Franticterrapin · 18/01/2020 18:50

My previous dog was a right minger (RIP Martha ❤)

She ate a green ham out of the food waste - produced farts you could taste for days.

She sicked up her own whole turd onto my fluffy rug.

She was constantly eating grass and butt scooting on the carpet when bits got stuck on the way out. I remember walking her one day and my partner having to twirl a twig around a long bit to pull it out as he had no gloves 😂

She stole alcohol from a field party and got drunk. Funny now but awful at the time, just kept spewing EVERYWHERE. Couldn't walk, I had to lift her into my boot to get her to the vet (40kg). £200 bloody quid that cost us.

cliffdiver · 18/01/2020 20:23

This thread is incredible.

DKitten doesn't have many tails (Wink) of woe yet.

When he was very little, he couldn't clean his bum properly and poo used to get caught in his long fur, which I would have to wash / cut out.

All rodents have (so far) been whole, but I live in constant fear.

Our dog eats his own shit if he's given half the chance and he absolutely LOVES cat shit! 💩

She was the same lady who boiled her dirty knickers with the staff lunch of boiled potatoes.

Omfg @KarmaStar that's probably the worst thing I've ever read! 🤢

My dog eats her own poo and the cats given the chance, absolutely vile! I was nearly sick the first time I caught her chomping on a piece of her own poo

I had a cat years ago who ate spiders, really crunches them. I'm terrified of spiders. One morning I am lying on my futon & see a huge spider (honestly, it cast a shadow!!) so I encourage the cat to see it - knowing he'll dispose of it. He gets it. I'm jumping on the futon, shrieking like a prat. Then cat is running round clawing at his face. I manage to catch him - a huge spider leg is sticking out his nostril. I had to pull it out and I SWEAR it crunched like pulling off a chicken leg!!!!

Came home from work to a note from the dog walker in the hallway (in the days before everyone using texts / emails)

'SubtleDog found a mound of fresh cut grass he was rolling in- think I got to him before he ate too much'

She was very mistaken.

He had completely covered himself, the lower parts of the walls, the floor, his bed, food bowl etc etc with shitty green diahorrea. Thank God I'd had a drink on the way home or else I would have cried cleaning it all up. I had to sit and compose myself in the bathroom- talk to myself in the mirror type thing to psyche myself up. Will never forget.
