This is so gross.....My toddler pooped on the floor (in the midst of potty training), I ran to get something to clean it up, not even thinking of the dog, when I got back the poo was gone...the dog ate it! Will this hurt my dog????

I doubt it will bother your dog, dogs eat their own feces on occasion. I would watch for any vomiting or diarrhea though

It relies upon on the concern. If the canines is whelping a muddle of domestic dogs or a cat has a touch diarhhea then the first decision ought to be to attend to it at homestead to verify if the concern receives better. And at the same time as waiting human beings can ask different puppy vendors in the adventure that they have got any concepts on the thanks to attend to the placement and ask for favourite suggestion. If it would not get better then the subsequent decision is the vet. some human beings do have some hum dingers on the following, yet for the most area the questions are sturdy, valid ones.

No........ i think your dog will be ok as long as your toddler is not sick are anything.
dogs eat about anything ... i have seen dogs fight over the
contents of a cat litter box ......gross
why they do it ........ i do not know.??....i do not think it is hungar
i suspect they crave something thats not found in their regular diet
2 female Shi shuz now 7 yrs old ... when they were pups
about 1 yr old if they were to find a pair of my wifes underwear on the floor in the bathroom (dirty underwear) they would chew out the crotch area ... nasty i know ... they finally quit doing it.. and no they never got sick are anything ... i think your pup will be ok ...

Your dog should be fine, I have caught my dog eating the cat's poop out of the litter box. Yuck! And my dog is fine. Just wouldn't want him to lick your face after eating the poo.

The dog will be ok. They eat their own poop, and even more disgusting things than that. Don't worry, and good luck on the potty training!!

I don't think so. If your dog behaves oddly, or seems to be ill or in pain, though, check with your vet. Honestly, though, I wouldn't worry about it. I work with dogs and have found that some of them eat another dogs droppings without ill effects. Just don't overreact, stay calm, and that way you'll be able to deal with any (unlikely) consequences. Good luck!

No your dog will be fine.
Dogs eat gross stuff all the time and poop is one of those gross things.
No harm for the dog and easier clean up for you. (LOL)
I would not encourage it but he/she will be fine.

Dogs eat dead animals that have been laying there for days. Toddler poop isn't going to hurt your dog.
