I get queasy very easily, almost to the point of vomiting, so dogs eating piles of shit is one of the reasons I don't want to own one. I could never truly love a dog after seeing it scarf down a steaming pile of shit. I do like dogs that I haven't seen eat a pile of shit though
some animals shit has nutrients. dogs love cat shit because it's high in protein, as cats are carnivores and they don't digest all the protein they consume so their shit is full of it. also why cat shit stinks way more than dog shit.
they generally don't consume other dogs shit or other low-value shit. cat shit is high value to a dog.
Really? Cause I've seen several dogs just scarf down a steaming of shit at least 3 times. I've never seen a small dog chow down on a steaming pile of shit. So maybe it's the medium sized dogs like a Labrador or an Irish Setter(the last one scarfed up shit like it was ice cream)
one night was walking down a major street in my city and a rat darted out in front of us, my dog caught it, thrashed it back and forth, it was screaming, then she slammed it so hard on the ground it went limp.
we kept walking, and the people around us had stopped and were completely silence in shock at the 3 seconds of hyper violence they just witnessed.
I have arachnophobia and I've trained my cats to take care of spiders for me, since I live alone. One night I was up late, as usual, and around 2am I went into my kitchen, turned the light on, and the biggest spider I've ever seen in my apartment ran across the floor. The fucker was definitely not the biggest I've ever seen, but huge, furry, and fat for an inside spider. I went to go get my work boots to smash it, but before I could even move my cat came tearing into the kitchen, leaned down and swallowed it in one gulp. He didn't even chew. I was half disgusted thinking of that thing alive and wriggling in his stomach, and half so proud of him for being my hero and slaying the monster for me. He got tons of treats as a reward.
Maybe 30 mm across? Like I said, definitely not the biggest spider I've ever seen, I used to live in a house that had Wolf spiders (made me want to genuinely die every time I saw one, those fuckers are HUGE) but for my current apartment, that's a big spider.
The two worst things about living alone are having to figure out dinner every single night and having to deal with my own spiders. The only other thing I hate about living alone is never having anyone to cuddle up with. Other than that, living alone is heaven.
It was a pet in my case. This was pre-covid, so I wasn't working at home, and I had this wonderful husky mutt. He loved food, and had a history of what we called "counter surfing" where he'd snatch up any unattended food left on counters.
That was mostly when he was younger though. He'd gotten a lot better about it and we thought we could trust him again. So one day he gets left alone inside for a bit, which everyone would soon come to regret. My idiot boy decided with his brain cell to break into a cabinet and gorged himself on two full pounds of raw white rice.
Thought he might have had a stroke when I first saw him, he was on his side, bloated and unable to get up. Rushed him to the vet and they took the funniest xray that technician had ever seen. Dog was totally fine, just uncomfortable for a while until he could poop out the rice.
I love the constant dichotomy presented by dogs. They do so many intelligent things, but then will do the dumbest shit possible like eating 2 pounds of uncooked rice.
I'm about five years older than my brother. When I was around 10, I took him to the bathroom after a little league game. He proceeded to pick a piece of chewed bubble gum out of a urinal and put it in his mouth.
When I was little, my dad would bring home a nasty cut of raw beef to give to the dog. The dog would love it. He'd prance (doberman) around the back yard happier than a pig in shit. At the end of the day, he'd bury it. Then he'd proceed to dig it up every few days and prance around chewing on it for a day, then re-bury it. He'd repeat that until it had rotted to the point that he couldn't differentiate the rotten meat from the dirt it was buried in.
My mum would do the same thing with her dog, a big collie. Every two weeks she'd bring it a new big beef bone with meat still on it, and the dog would take a couple of weeks to eat it, and burying it between sessions.
I now know that my dog's GI tract can accommodate an ultra tampon. I didnt know he ate it, so watching a large bloodred foreign body emerge from a dachshund's asshole at 7am was wildly disturbing.
My dog ate a half pound Hershey bar once. He was completely fine, probably because it's not real chocolate. He also got into an entire bottle of Tylenol and had to have his stomach pumped, but he was also fine. Still alive and turned 20 in May.
My Weiner used to gorge herself on anything stuffing filled when she was young. There were multiple occasions where her shit was not in fact shit, but a pile of pillow fluff. How the little fucker never had an intestinal blockage, I'll never know. Still going strong after 12 years.
I had a small short hair Pomeranian-Chihuahua mix we called 'Bear' (he thought he was big and tough, but only stood 10" tall).
One day he ate an entire pop can. Pulled it out of the recycling, shredded it with his teeth and ate most of the pieces. All he had left was the top when we found him and took it away; he couldn't quite get through the rolled edge, so he couldn't break it down enough to swallow.
Somehow, he was perfectly fine. Didn't go see a vet, wasn't bleeding or showing signs of pain/illness. We did find a few shiny pieces in his poo while cleaning up the backyard...
I didn't see it happen and I don't know whether it was all at once or over some time. But one morning my cat was in distress, and the vets endoscoped 30 wrist-sized ponytail holders out of her stomach. Very grateful she was okay, we banned them in our home because they were her favorite toy but apparently secretly delicious.
I fed my dog breakfast, then my wife fed my dog breakfast. It was too much for her tummy. She barfed the food up. Then ate the barf. We we laughing and guffawing too hard to clean it immediately, so she ate it again. Then barfed again, then ate it once more. Then barfed again, then we cleaned it because we went from gross out laughter to scared she would hurt herself.
My toddler son dipped watermelon in ketchup before eating it. I was frozen in disgust. I then took a picture of the act to show him and his friends when he's older.
Was a nurse, had many patients with advanced dementia over the years. Unfortunately as a result, my answer is âtheir own fecesâ as they just have no idea what is what anymore.

Same people who refuse to participate meaningfully in eating or drinking anything suitable, with or without assistance.
No one should have to keep living like that. And yet, 60% or more of them were full fucking code. Get your wishes in writing and notarized, placed on file and communicate them with your family or whomever will be point person/people near the end of your time here. Because the default is âdo everythingâ and the reality is, many people suffer for a very long time because of that.
Watched a little cousin pick up a dried chicken shit and crunch it... 3 adults reacted strongly. She had already swallowed it.
In high school I remember different groups of boys making weird gross concoctions and daring one another to eat them. The lumpy milk drinks always seemed the worse. With half chewed hamburger, gummy worms, ect... It was always just gross.
As an adult I have watched and parten in slurping body fluids... Always seemed gross to me. But pleasure is pleasure.
One of my cats found a ribbon someone got on a gift and forgot to throw away (i make it a rule to throw out ribbons and twist ties on sight specifically because this cat will seek them out to nibble), and bit off and ate the tip of it, maybe an inch or so. Later, half of it ended up hanging out his rear before he passed it completely. Cue me getting rather panicked because it looked, at the time, like he'd eaten a whole ribbon rather than a tiny piece, and to my understanding, doing that can be incredibly bad for a cat due to the potential for it to get stuck or damage their gut. To make matters worse, at the time I was a teenager in a suburban neighborhood with no ability to drive and my parents were away on an errand, so I had to wait for any chance to get him to a vet. Then he ended up passing it before they got back and at the same time I found the rest of the ribbon with only the tip nibbled off, so it turned out fine, but it was a scary few minutes.
Patient - their own vomit. They ate so fast they puked then just kept re-eating it. Had to be dragged away. Mentioned this in a VtM group that thought they were edgy. They were like "well you can't eat anything that's not blood or you'll puke it up" and I was like "but I can just keep re-eating the puke right?" You could hear a pin drop in that chat.
Also lots of weird day-old congealed milk in juice mixers. See that one a lot actually. They scream at you for clearing out their room but you have to do it to keep them from poisoning themselves or getting weird infections.
A single, seedless grape. I didn't think it was a big deal at first, but googled it and apparently dogs can die from eating a grape. A ÂŁ200 quid emergency vet bill, and an hour or so of collecting dog vomit later and he was pronounced safe. Worth it.

I have dogs, so right away nothing is off the menu.
Horrifying: the lab has sniffed out and swallowed baby bunnies whole, twice.
Gross: both dogs will eat the shit of any wild animal they find. They especially like cat shit. They both used to raid the cat box if unsupervised.
