My dog has started to eat his own siht. Is there some reason for this? Don't say he's hungry as he's very well fed. It's weird.

Look on the bright side. You only ever need to feed the dog once.
My old dog used to have a love of horse manure. Couldn't get enough of it. Literally would lunge towards it on the lead.
Trouble is they then want to lick you
My dog eats cat shit, loves the stuff. idiot. But yeah i think its quite normal (in dog terms) to eat the shit of other animals, or their own.
When i was growing up our family dog back then used to love rolling in fox shit. honestly it was like he was having a massage or something rolling around in it like it was a radox bubble bath.
Weird little creatures.
Made me laugh out loud….the rolling in fox shit bit.Quote:
