Weird things you've found your Shiba eating

So Triton was wagging his tail and licking something on the floor. Then he had it in his mouth and was tasting it. I made him spit it out and it was a LADYBUG!!! Gross!

    I taught Sachi to kill cockroaches for me, but I have to stop her from eating them, she will also eat lizards, and the leaves off one of my houseplants.

    Hmm. Nola likes to play with rocks in her mouth, but she has not yet eaten one or even chewed on it... However, she loves to eat lemons.

    Bella likes to stand underneath the cherry tree in the late spring and wait for cherries to fall into her mouth. Yum.

    hmm... my list of what I haven't found my shibas eating is shorter than what I have caught them eating...

    lol.

    Tetsu loves sun-dried slugs, whatever the cats bring home, any dog/cat food that isn't his, and flying moths.

    Even though he's not a shiba, Tikaani loves crickets. But what's really fun is pulling a used feminine napkin out of his mouth (gotta love how my mom insists on using a coverless bathroom waist basket).

    oh god. My previous dog did that. Went through the bathroom trash and chewed on used pads. Not the cutest thing to come home to.

    My cat I have now digs through the bathroom trash for used q-tips and chews on them and then bats them around the house.

    Toby has been into waaay too many things. Dead rabbits, lizards, bird poop, fuzz on a tennis ball, nylabones, his own hair.

    EEEEEEWWW!! The used pads thing actually happened to my mom with her Shiba, Sadie. It was absolutely disgusting.

    Moto was a panty eater. The worst was my friend Kates chihuahua/shiba mix. He eats things so fast that often she only knows what he has eaten on the way out. She has had to pull out a condom and a thong out of our friend Sammy.

    Let's face it, dogs can be very gross creatures.

    Cigarette butts! UGH! Honey LOVES to try to eat as many as she can on our walks. But since we changed over to the harness it's gotten better. She also loves to eat the empty toilet paper roll. (Or any cardboard for that matter.)

    My best friend's dog (a terrier) eats anything....everything. The worst of what Oliver has eaten - goldfish (NOT THE CRACKER), tampons (unused...AND used - ewwwwwwww)!

    Gross!

    Ike eats old bandaids.
    Beebe eats dead stuff, I can't tell exactly what.
    They have bothed snacked on mercury glass thermometers and rat poison. They are now expressing interest in Fugu, but I said enough poison for now.

    I have to watch Takumi very carefully all the time when I walk him outside, otherwise you never know what goes into his mouth :-(
    I hate when he eats other dog's poop. I really wonder what kinda taste buds do dogs have??

    Ok, I was NOT expecting to hear about pups eating used pads & tampons when I came into this thread. Thanks guys :p


    What happened to shibas being CLEAN creatures?!

    [ & Jess, please tell me the condom wasn't used either! ]


    No doggies here, but the Iguana likes to attempt to eat the carpet, One of my cockatiels has eaten a part of my coffee table, & I caught the kitten eating one of the bird's feathers. I fear what my future pup will eat!!! Think twice next time they give you those doggie kisses / licks!!!~

    The condom was new. He pooped out a wrapper first.

    Less unusual, but one of the reasons I have a gate on my upstairs is cat poop. Moto and Piglet were the worst. I have had more than one incident of waking up to what started as sweet puppy kisses until I smelled cat poop on their breath and would see chunks of cat litter on their noses. The last straw was when Moto essentially had a Fresh Step poop. Dogs down stairs, cats up.

    No more poop kisses in my life dammit!.

    Yeah, I'm familiar with cat poop eaters.....ick.

    Fresh Step just has that certain, unmistakable bouquette on a dogs breath, doesn't it. It's one of those things, like the sound of an angry Calico wrapped in a towel getting a blood draw, that you just don't forget.

    I have to tell you guys, this is the grossest thread ever!

    There's a very good reason that we have a gate closing off the porch now. Toby had a few snacks from the litter box as a puppy. ;) And plastic kitty poop bags.
    My parents never used scoop the cat's litter when he was younger. I remember one time I had a whole baggie full of poop ( must've been 2+ weeks full of crap ). I labeled it 'Coda's Poopies' and sat it on the table. haha. :D

    This thread needs to have a warning in the title!! Something about not clicking if you have recently or are currently eating!!!

    Or maybe I should have known better.

    Yuck!! :)

    Speaking of... I completely forgot the strangest thing Bella has ever... um... pooped out until Jess mentioned Fresh Step poop...

    I went to visit my mom and brought Bella down with me, we went for a walk where Bella had her evening constitutional... I was about 10 feet away from her and noticed that her poop was really odd looking... it looked almost yellow. I walked over, and she was pooping out BIRD SEED. She had apparently gotten into the bird seed at my house that the squirrels knocked out of the feeders. I almost died laughing when my mom saw it and asked what I was feeding her!

    Our dachshund snacked on used feminine products. As a result she wasn't allowed in the bathroom, ever.

    Jack LOVES to stick his head in the litter box and snack on cat poop. I think the litter box got shoved outside for a while because of it.

    i had a dog once, not a shiba, who would eat cigarettes. she would steal a pack, open it and then eat them down to the filter. she also ate her own poop, then the poop that came from that. and she loved to steal jax chees doodles.
