Question: Has any one ever had this experience with their dog after a snow storm?

Question

We have almost 2 feet of snow on the ground and after about 5 days my Astrailian Shepherd who is 5 months old has decided that his 'dog business' is some what interesting to eat. He has never done anything like this and it was my thinking that being that it is flash frozen so to speek he finds it different from regular 'dog business' that he usually leaves in the yard. I pick it all up all the time, so he has never had to really confront it much. I do so now, but when I do not he often messes with it. Does my frozen theory sound plazable?

Answer 1

Poopsicles!


What you're describing is quite common behavior.

Answer 2

It is common, as stated before. But it's not the best thing in the whole world lol. Try picking up after him as fast as you can. If you see him going near it to sniff it and later gulp it down, scold him, tell him NO. He should eventually learn to stay away from him. My dog doesn't eat her poo anymore (she did when she was a teeny puppy), but she DOES thoroughly enjoy cat poop from the neighbor's gray cat. It's her favorite after dinner treat, and just about the most disgusting thing ever. Lol. I can't get her to stop with that. Good luck! :o)

Answer 3

Who knows what is plausible for a dog. But eating his own or other poop is not healthy for your dog. You can buy something at a pet store that you add to your dogs food so he won't eat his poop. Strangely it makes it non-appetizing! Of course I don't know why some dogs find poop appetizing in the first place!! I have heard that meat tenderizer sprinkled on the poop will deter a dog, but I don't know if that works. Check with your vet, they will know the name of the powder to use, or ask at a pet store and they will tell you.

Answer 4

It's a tasty chocolate poopcicle! LOL. Yes frozen theroy sounds way plazable, as I live in a state of cold and snow.

Answer 5

It is not uncommon. Dogs, particularly puppies, will nibble on and sometimes eat their "leftovers". Hamsters will also do this, as a way to regain nutrients that they did not get. It's not the most pleasant thing in the world, but unless he shows signs of eating something toxic to him, he should be fine.

P.S. My family LOVES Aussies. :)

Answer 6

It happens with snow or not. One of my dogs still does it occasionally. They eat it because there is food left in it because it hasnt been fully processed. Just dont ask for any kisses.

Answer 7

i have an aussy pup too, 6 months old. she hasnt seen snow yet, but when sees poop she likes to munch on it anyways (gross). i'm thinking its easier to see against the snow so its something to go investigate (and eat).

one more thing to look forward to with my pup in the next few months! lol

Answer 8

I even have considered some people whose countenance became into so form and eye-catching and who've made their visual attraction in my existence at certainly one of those attempting time that i ought to swear they are angels. they did no longer, needless to say, have wings. On one such celebration i became into very bodily worn down and status at a bus quit. a youthful boy of approximately 14 years stopped to remark or inquire from me aquestion and then suggested he thought he could walk on and capture the bus afterward. I later observed him on the bus and his face appeared so wonderful he infrequently regarded like all and sundry from the worldwide to which i became into accustomed. On yet another celebration i mandatory to make a rapid telphone call, believing that somebody must be in threat. i became into having very a lot of difficulty by way of a mix of recordings and unco-operative workers on the different end of the line. After a short-term relax, I resumed attempt, looking frantically for yet another telephone. all of them have been occuppied and that i felt that ingredient became into obligatory. without postpone I heard a voice asking me "could you elect to apply this telephone?" The voice i observed got here from the comparable oy I had considered on the bus quit. I thanked him, and he became into long previous. On a yet another celebration I grew to grow to be demanding some remember. good in the previous I crossed the line, a sprint boy approximately 2 years previous opened the door for me. He gave me a captivating smile once I thanked him and saved waving at me as I crossed the line. on the exterior, he became right into a stranger, yet I saved hoping that we ought to fulfill lower back. greater at present, I even have encountered an fairly friendly youthful guy with a type disposition interior the comparable accepted area of city once I even have had reason to be disenchanted or under tension. The encounters I even have reported continually have been for this reason a ways unpredicted. they are very uplifting.

Answer 9

Yup, its gross but it happens. My dog has ate some pretty strange things just because they were frozen outside. No damage done, just yucky!

Answer 10

i guess. i havent had that experince. what i would do is barry it arround the property line. and then see what happens.
