but Pip, for the second time since we've had her (just over 3 months) went out in the garden and was happily eating something which, on closer inspection, turned out to be cat poo.  Is this normal?

Regretably it is.

yep

Oh yes, unfortunately both our dogs seem to think it is the best treat ever. Just yesterday I noticed Honey eating something in the garden, I realised it was cat poo so tried to get her to drop it, but she just gobbled away even more quickly...........just gross! Her breath is really not nice. Yuk Yuk Yuk!

Yep, it comes third, second is fox, and first.... well.... urk!!

Yep if they dont eat it then the next best is rolling in it or fox or badger and if you are really unlucky human !

> Is this normal?

Yum  Yum  Afraid so!

Bleugh!!!!!  So glad I have such a lufferly little dog!

Many thanks for your responses, even though it's not what I wanted to hear lol.  How come my little lady (who won't get her feet wet and jumps puddles/muddy patches when she can) will eat that - it's beyond me!

My girls who are very sweet eat fox poo but my boys never go near it, who said the girls are ladys i dont think

Sounds familiar, Honey is quite the little lady in other respects, but when it comes to a nice bit of cat poo it is all forgotten!!!

Very normal.

Welcome to the poo eating club lol

They told me what to type!! lol

Mine dont eat.....thank god! But they do roll in anything very smelly.......up the fields this morning and 2 of them found what i think was either fox or badger poop...nice to roll in, but not nice when you have to have a bath at 8am!!!!

I have just found the benefits of owning a toy breed. They bath so easily makes a change form when big boy (40kg gsd) rolls lol

Pip eats and rolls too - I swear she thinks rabbit droppings are Maltesers lol.  Her favourite though seems to be a great big dollop of really nasty badger poo she found.  Unforunately it went on her collar too and I had to put her lead on just after her rolling yuk.  Found a spare poo bag makes a great makeshift glove for this type of problem ;o)
