I’m not going to lie to you. Almost all dogs eat discarded food on the street. Lots of dogs eat vomit. And some dogs even eat poop. They say poop eating is a result of a dietary deficiency that they are trying to fill, so crappy kibble is a big reason they do it. But some just do it because they’re naughty and enjoy the big reaction from the humans when they do.
As a side note, my friend Megan found a really good website that analyzes the content of various dog foods and posts reviews. It helps you see if your dog is eating mostly filler and not enough protein or vitamins. The guy doing the reviews seems legit and not like a lackey for some company: www.dogfoodadvisor.com. Poor Hapoochie was eating a three star food till I was shown that site! The horror!
Anyway, my story. I’m sitting at the dog park on Sunday morning, minding everyone else’s business, when I see a miniature poodle go into the infamous hunch. Then I see his buddy, another nasty little poodle, run up to him to sniff. Or at least I thought it was to sniff. Imagine my disbelief when he opened his nasty little mouth with its nasty little teeth and began eating the other dog’s excrement AS IT CAME OUT OF HIM.
Enjoy your lunch!
I love that!
There’s a commercial for dog food tha tI find hilarious. It’s the one where the lady with short blonde hair is telling people that the dog food she had been feeding her dog had a number one ingredient of corn. “Can you believe it,” she asks, as if it is preposterous that her dog was eating corn. She reminds me of Amy Sedaris in the commercial, but she’s being serious. I wish I could remember which dog food it was for.
Bodily functions seems to be the disturbing trend this blog is taking…maybe we could obsess about something else now?
loooool I was thinking the exact same thing. I’ll decide.
I just went to the advisor’s site and looked up my dog’s food…and while there are a lot of different ones, he claimed he couldn’t find the nutrition information on Hill’s site (for Science Diet). Dunno when he did it, but I was just able to find it quite easily. And it’s extremely different from what he said, and costs…rather less…than the hippie foods he was promoting.
FYI. YMMV. OMGWTFBBQ.
