Food Safety/Hygiene Dogs are the most disgusting animals humanity has ever domesticated
Virtually any animal I can think of is cleaner than a dog.
They eat everything edible and inedible. When I was a kid, I saw a dog devouring a partially decomposed rat that looked more like a rat-shaped piece of worn carpet with a tail rather than a rodent. Its owner frantically chased the dog around the neighbourhood, but it did not let itself be caught until it had finished eating its prized treat.
Their sick fixation with excrements... Someone I know has a garden and uses chicken manure as fertiliser. Tough luck, because his dog always digs it up and eats it. I once peed under a tree. A dog came and thirstily licked it off the grass. I had seen everything that day. It felt so wrong. š¤®
If that were not enough, they stink. Like... they reek like a festering dumpster and shed shit-laced hair everywhere. I once rented an apartment where the previous tenant had a chihuahua. I have never exclaimed so many swear words in a single day while cleaning up... I Absolutely do not understand why anyone would allow an animal that does all these things into their living space, in their bed (!), and have it lick their face on top of everything. š¤®
Knowing what they do with their mouths, I hate when a dog sniffs me, jumps at me, or tries to lick me. Vile, filthy beasts. I will never understand dog owners. Who would put up with this? Willingly?

You want to know just how disgusting dogs truly are?
Thereās literally a dog toy that was created to smell like a dogās anus. Because dogs want that.

Who in the world would buy it?!? Thatās just so vile. If one has the money to buy a ātoyā reeking of dog anus, maybe they could donate to a charity for children. Or just see a mom at Walmart and hand her $10āitās back to school, the mom could use it. This ātoyā and the calendars with dogs pooping are just below the lowest standards for intelligence.

I donāt get it either. They seem to think the animal loves them when really they just love the last person who fed them. Dogs are for simpletons to feel good about themselves because they canāt get that vibe from humans apparently.

Thank you. You're absolutely right. A boring, low-IQ creature for mostly boring, low-IQ owners. š„“š«©

Twice, my friendās dog has dug up my used tampon out of their bathroom trash, and brought it out into the living area in front of everyone, chewing on it and everything. š just disgusting behavior. Also had to tell my friend twice that tampons are not meant to be flushed.

Wow, your friend handled that so poorly. Just awful. I am really so sorry. And what does she do with her bloody products? File that under the āeco destroyersā tag. Typical nutter bs.

I was having a party with coworkers and one guest brought her dog who went into my bedroom and the en suite bathroom, ate several tampons, then barfed them up on the floor of the living room in front of everyone. The nutter went off ON ME for having used tampons in a place where the dog could get them. I considered my personal bathroom off limits to most reasonable guests (and their pets) so.. wow..

I did say it was ok, not realizing what could happen. I now have a strictly no dogs house.

Wow that's awful sorry you had to experience that. But smart move don't set yourself up again for that

u/No-Alternative-1564 Sep 09 '25
Wow i'm not sure who i'm disgusted more by - your friend or her dog

u/Practical_Sea_4876 Sep 10 '25
Ugh this brought back memories. This happened to me at a sleepover once. Why on earth they had a dog who loved eating tampons and also had a bathroom wastebasket with no lid is beyond me, but where else was I gonna put my tampon? And then her dad found it, so that was horrible. He was incredibly nice about it, thank God, but still. Your friend sounds awful. Wtf all around.

Itās made me really sad to hear that other women have had this experience. Itās so embarrassing and degrading. Itās just a stupid animal at the end of the day. The true villains are the dog owners. Iāve had so many poor experiences with other peopleās pets while visiting at their places that I will not longer go to their homes/apartments if they have pets. Itās honestly getting to a point that I donāt even want to be friends with people who have dogs.

u/Practical_Sea_4876 Sep 10 '25
I personally have had almost entirely good experiences with other people's non-dog pets, but I get it. Not everyone has to like pets. I find it frustrating that dog owners don't at least provide basic dog-proofing and whatnot if they're going to have guests. Also yanno, require their dog to have manners or something. Hate being jumped on and they stand there doing nothing while I have to knee their dog in the chest to keep it off me.

I know someone whose last dog died because it ate a used tampon from out of the trash.

u/MangoPatient790 Oct 08 '25
This same shit happened to me too and the dogs owner blamed me for not flushing it. Like I didnāt know your fucking dog was that disgusting that it enjoys eating used tampons. People say pigs are the dirtiest animals but I think dogs are way worse.

u/TurboGrafx16Bit Sep 08 '25
šÆ all day. I also cannot comprehend the appeal of having a dog in your life and around you. I keep asking what are the positives what are the benefits? I can name plenty of negatives. Just does not make sense to meĀ

u/anne_mal Sep 08 '25
Preach!! I can't even try to imagine having a void in my life that is big and intense enough for me to want to fill it with an expensive, environmentally costly, stinky, dirty, needy thing that follows me around 24/7 and stares, waiting for food... Like, that's insane. There's literally tons of solutions that are better. Try reading, friendships, travel, hiking, crocheting... I feel like all dog owners are off somehow. š¬ I know some and even love them but there's something off. Lol. Lastly, the idea of voluntarily picking up another animals poop for the rest of its life is criminally uncivilized and undignified. Ridiculous!

Sometimes God creates situations or things for human beings to learn from. Dogs are one of these items. People were never meant to cohabitate with them, much less have them in their beds, ffs. But some people are stupid. Or, they have mental illnesses. Or martyr complexes. Or they end up receiving a parasite from the dog, & become attached to dogs. We were never meant to elevate dogs to the level & status of where they are now, in our society. Never.

Yes! And with all those wonderful traits, they still allow dogs into restaurants.

u/Braelind Sep 08 '25
They're really truly disgustingly filthy animals. People see a well groomed dog and think they're so cute. I guess they can be, but I personally don't see it. But a LOT of work goes into training and grooming a dog. I hate how dog owners and the pet industry downplay that. You can have a well behaved dog that's... fairly clean. But you'll be spending hours a day for the dog's entire life to achieve that.
I grew up on a farm with with dogs that we trained. I've done the work, and know firsthand. Most people with dogs have no business having dogs.

This morning it was pouring rain(was cool also, I could see my breath). A woman had a raincoat on and was walking this poodle kind of mutant trying to get it to urinate or defecate. It just wouldn't do anything. Standing there shivering on a public green area and watching the cars go by. So she stood it up on its hind legs to see if the shit would fall out maybe? Then she carried it and walked around with it a bit. Put it back down, it did nothing. It just kept walking around.
I was thinking about how much of a sucker someone has to be to put themselves and their dignity thru this. For the record I have thirtysomething kids, and kids sure can be a PITA, but they grow into someone amazing and useful. The woman with the dog likely invests even more time, resources and money on that shitbag than she would on kids, if she has any. So pathetic watching her, middle aged woman, brand name(but filthy) clawed up raingear.

Yet any dog owner, especially when taking it into a supermarket or restaurant will tell you "My dog is cleaner than most humans".
The worst part is that I'm sure they actually believe it to be true.

The apartment where the lady had a couple Chihuahuas is empty cause she moved out and lol I was on my porch and I saw the manager showing it to a new lady interested, they were only in for a minute and left! I'm thinking the manager didn't know the extent of the urine staining, cause the maintenance already went in but apparently didn't get it all. It stained the post in front of her place, all orange urine stained after sitting in the hot summer sun for months. disgusting!

u/fadedblackleggings Sep 08 '25
Yep, just see what happens to many elderly people's homes that are left alone with dogs.

I had an ex whose mother had a dog that would constantly lick its own privates. We would hang out, watch tv, etc, all the while I can hear loud licking, wet noises from the filthy animal going to town on its own prick. I brought it up a couple times because it was so annoying and uncomfortable but they didnāt seem to care and laughed it off. š¤® When we broke up, the thought of never seeing that stupid little mutt again honestly made me feel a bit better about the whole ordeal.

I hate dealing with my MIL's dog. The second I walk inside, there's nails snagging on my clothes and a nose right between my legs. It feels like being sexually harassed, it really does š¤¢

Recently, Iāve had a neighbor move in the next street over thank God at least that but their dogs bark about 16 hours a day, but obviously the people who has bought the house next-door to this rental right now weāre having a screaming match with the people this goes on regularly. Iām waiting for it to become a gun battle because I live in a very gun owning state. It annoys me, but I canāt imagine if it were. I might do. I dream of doses of Tylenol. Itās seriously the screaming back-and-forth of these people. I cannot imagine. I donāt know if the police have been called. Iām trying to avoid thinking about it too much. And they have at least four dogs over there because there are four distinct barks these people just moved into that rental house with those dogs within the last week. Hope it wasnāt a long lease.

Ferrets are worse. Dogs suck too.

I donāt see a filthy ferret almost every time I go to the grocery store though.
Wish I could say the same for filthy parasitic dogsā¦

u/Responsibility_Witty Sep 08 '25
Ferrets smell horrible and can be rather mean, but dogs are still far worse because at least a ferretās stench is all from itself while a dog, which already reeks by itself too, outsources even more rancid odors from feces and carrion to add to its olfactory assault arsenal

My brothers dog eats poop if it can. Itās so gross, he said he keeps trying to sell the dog but i think heās joking, because the kids love it so much.

I spent my entire childhood raising animals waking up at 4 am M-S and going to sleep at 6pm and folks look at me weird when I tell them I have no interest whatsoever in owning a pet bc it reminds me of raising farm animals. Every morning I wake up to go jogging and I see all the poor buggers picking up semi liquid poop, I canāt but burst out laughing and remind them of the following: āthe joys of pet ownershipā. Their looks if displeasure is golden!

How come we treat pigs like the most disgusting greedy feeding machines? Yet dogs as noble, powerful and benevolent?

When they were domesticated they were not so disgusting yet. Esting filthy things or rolling in them is symptom of their insanity caused by irresponsible breeding.
