Why Do Dogs Roll In Others Poo?

Post by ChubbyPuppy74 »

I had the unpleasant event of Mia Rolling in Poop.. We were on our walk, I let her go as usual, where we walk is a park with a large bowl like grass area, behind that is the woods, we go walking in the woods. She loves it. Anywho, I turned my head for not even a minute and there Mia is, rolling in poo that came from who knows what! :shock: What my question is why do dogs roll in other animals poo?

Nobody actually knows, though there are several theories, each one more cockamamie than the last :lol:

Tomato sauce or baby wipes are good for getting rid of the smell - wash affected area with a mild shampoo, then rub in tomato sauce and rinse out, or else after washing use baby-wipes. No need to bath the whole dog unless you really hate it :mrgreen:
A dog is never bad or naughty - it is simply being a dog
