Ugggghhhh!!!!!!!!!! Can i just say this is probably the third time this has happened!!!!!! Maggie just got groomed yesterday and was smelling beautiful!!! My son took her for a walk down our driveway to get the mail,and he comes back and says..."Mom,she was doing that rolling thing again..." Well,she doent smell so pretty anymore!!!! She rolls in other dogs poop!!! WHY !!!! I was able to clean her up and she does smell better...but someone PLEASE tell me WHY !!! |
I know it is disgusting. I would just be more careful where I walk her. Not only does other dogs poop smell bad but your dog can pick up any number of diseases and parasites for other dogs poops. Here is some interesting information on that subject: why dogs roll in poop |
I know a neighbor's dog who loves to do that. It starts with him sniffing the poop & if you look away for a minute he's rolling away in it.. I agree with bjh, I'd be worried about parasites & sickness.. maybe look into a special shampoo? |
Is she on a leash? If so, I would think it would be easy to prevent. |
This is a hold-over instinct from before dogs were domesticated. They would roll around in a heavily scented object to mask their own scent, when hunting. For more information see: Why Dogs Love to Roll in Smelly Stuff - Succeed by Understanding Behavior: School for Champions |
of course she is always on a leash...my son was walking her totally gross!!! |
oh,and thanks for the info...i WILL be reading that!! |
