ABSOLUTE FUCKING GUDGEON
That nasty corn chips smell big dogs get when people don't wash them enough (i.e. most big dog owners)

You walk into a house, it's everywhere, you sit on the couch and the smell POOFS out at you from the cushions and you gag quietly. The dog comes up panting and the nasty scent roooollls towards you like a tsunami.

I know lots of people say they can tell when they enter a cat house bc of the piss smell. You can always tell a Big Dog house in the same vein. Just...musty dog rear end.

The problem with this is that on the one hand, your dogs feet smell like fritos.
On the other hand you and everything you've been within 12 feet of within 48 hours reeks of cat piss forever, constantly.

It’s from their feet. The “fact” that dogs don’t sweat is actually untrue. They have sweat glands between their paw pads, which builds up and causes the frito odor. Easily remedied by washing their feet regularly or just taking trimmers to the fur that grows between the pads :science:

Trim it. Get a wet washcloth and clean the toes out. Now you got a dog what feet don’t smell like greasy snacks. 5 minutes every other week.


(noted that this is my dog and I clearly haven’t been following my own advice but he doesn’t smell so :shrug:)

I don't understand ear cropping. Like, why is it done at all? It sounds barbaric.

At the first frat party I went to, my first thought was "why does this place smell like Pop?" and then I realized that I literally never saw him without a Budweiser in his hand. Ah, memories. :unsmith:

Their ears break all the time and they get aural hematomas that sometimes need surgery to fix. The tail breaks, too, splashing blood far and wide.

It depends on the breed. In danes, it's because some of them still work and hunt. Since they were bred to gently caress up wild boar, and those boar have tusks, cropping keeps their ears up and out of the way of those tusks so they don't get shredded.

In dobermans it's in part because of security details, in part because they have pretty delicate ears that, like I said above, have a tendency to need medical support.

I don't crop or dock (docking is what they do to the tails).

I was so paranoid about "cat smell" when I first got a cat that I would ask people straight up if they could smell cat when they visited my relatively small place. Nobody noticed it but we are hyper vigilant about cleaning. I vacuum daily, scoop litter twice daily, have litter near an area that can be aired out daily as well as closed off. I've got scenty candles, "clean air" plants, and brush my girl 2-3 times a week.

We don't have any "cat smell" as confirmed by trustworthy sources. On occasion she drops a big ol' poo poo and it smells like a raw fart though.

I find if anything cats tend to absorb the scent of the rooms they're in. Like if someone is cooking, the aroma will just seep into the cat so when you shove your face into it, it smells like food.

Most pugs and bulldogs probably shouldn't ethically exist tbh. The breathing issues are a serious problem and they can easily die from over heating. It doesn't help that a lot of people let them get fat as gently caress making their breathing even more labored. They just make me sad sometimes. Even though they are usually very sweet and good dogs.

I seriously think that breeding pugs and bulldogs should be considered animal abuse. Bulldogs have been so hosed up that they have half the average lifespan that a dog of their size should.

If you know somebody who's thinking about getting a pug or a bulldog, tell them that they're an idiot.

a few years ago, people started crossing pugs with jack russell terriers to produce pugs that weren't horror shows of suffering. i wonder if that caught on or if everyone still wants a gremlin that can't breathe or keep its eyes in its sockets.

Normally that’s a cue for the dog owner to pick up the poo regularly

One of my old roommates got an Australian Shepherd from a breeder. She was the cutest dog, but they cropped her tail :( Ostensibly, it's so it won't get caught in things or damaged when they're out herding sheep or whatever, but the vast majority of these dogs are going to be full-time housepets. The American Kennel Club is a force for evil though and perpetuates a lot of these bullshit aesthetics. They usually just end up making the dog uglier too.

There seem to be a lot of people around me that just casually breed their dogs. They're not actual breeders, they just do it for fun I guess. I had a coworker who kept trying to pimp out her dog, it was kind of weird. This is out in the country though, so maybe it's normal to them. But I can't think of any possible reason why I would want a dog that hasn't been spayed or neutered living in my house.

I made it sound like he was a toddler. We were both eleven at the time. I told him to stop throwing poo poo and he froze and got mad and said I had to leave cause I swore (in my mind throwing poop at people is a graver sin than swearing but I'm not sure how the mormon bible prioritises its sins)

I had heard some breeders are trying to fix that
