Why do dogs roll in fox poo my black lab wont stop doing it i need answers?
Answers:
This is a habit linked to the hunting ancestry of doggies. Rolling in muck disguises the scent of your dog - in her mind that prevents her prey from smelling her & running away. In reality of course, there is no prey in the sense of a dinner but it's an instinct & virtually all dogs do it anyway.
As you can imagine, they believe they smell wonderful, so are puzzled by your determination to wash them at once!
Think of it as a fragrant disguise mechanism.
(By the way, fox crap is a fave as we know just how vile it is - rinsing the dog in tomato juice removes the worst of the pong. If in North America, this also works for skunk spray).
my golden ret does it in rabbit poo?
my dachshund does the same ,its just because they enjoy the sent!
it is in their blood. they are predators and they are instinctively programmed to mask their scent to sneak up on prey.
The stinker the poop and a wild animal has alittle differant smell to their poop.and it's natural for a dog to do this.it's like saying,hey look what i just found.
